Michigan State football 2022 transfer tracker

Check out how the transfer portal is shaking out for MSU in 2022

As many know, the transfer portal is set to be a huge part of Mel Tucker’s tenure at Michigan State. The new era of college football is centered around the use of the transfer portal. Tucker used the portal to flip a roster from a 2-5 season in his first year to an 11-2 season in year two, mainly in part to the additions through the transfer portal.

The transfer portal should be viewed as another form of recruiting, as a team will have two ‘recruiting classes’ per year, the traditional high school class and a transfer class.

Transfers do work both ways, while the team will add multiple players through the portal, losing players to the portal will also become a reality every season.

Take a look at how Michigan State’s 2022 transfer portal, both incoming and outgoing, looks like:

Michigan State linebacker Chase Kline had made the decision to enter the transfer portal following the team’s win over Nebraska. Kline had seen his playing time decrease and by transferring before the fifth game of the season, he was able to preserve a year of eligibility.

Kline has since made the decision to transfer within the state of Michigan, as he will be heading to Ypsilanti to play for the Eastern Michigan Eagles.

In his MSU career, Kline appeared in 19 games getting 52 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

Chase Kline gives goodbye to Spartan Nation

Chase Kline took to Twitter to say goodbye to Spartan Nation

Michigan State’s linebacker depth took a hit this week when they lost LB Chase Kline to the transfer portal.

The former 4-star prospect saw playtime in limited action this year in a spell role as a pass rusher. Transferring after 4 games preserved his redshirt status, preserving an extra year of eligibility.

Kline took to Twitter to give a goodbye and a thank you to Spartan Nation for his time as a member of the program.

Kline never gelled in the new 4-2-5 scheme and will be better suited in a 3-4 base defense. Spartan Nation will wish him luck.

On Saturday, Michigan State football found out that they were losing defensive end Alex Okelo to the NCAA transfer portal. On Sunday, it was reported by Rainer Sabin of the Detroit Free Press that two more Spartans will be joining him as cornerback Kalon Gervin and linebacker Chase Kline both entered the portal.

Unlike Okelo, Gervin and Kline are upperclassmen, and both players were receiving less playing time than they might have liked. By transferring now, the two players will save a year of eligibility and find a new place where they can get playing time. Since they weren’t really playing anyway, this is a neutral move for MSU and nothing to be concerned about.
