Michigan State football LB transfer headed to Wyoming

MSU LB transfer is heading to Wyoming

Michigan State lost linebacker Cole DeMarzo to the transfer portal at the conclusion of the 2021 football season. DeMarzo had been surpassed on the depth chart and made the decision to move on to another program.

DeMarzo was a member of Michigan State’s 2020 recruiting class, the last of Coach Dantonio’s tenure, ranking as a 3-star safety out of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. DeMarzo made the shift to linebacker from safety during his time in East Lansing.

It is unknown completely what position DeMarzo will be playing at his next school, but his next school is now known. DeMarzo will be heading to the Moutain West Conference to play for Wyoming.

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:

For the third time on Monday, a Spartan has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Michigan State football redshirt freshman linebacker Cole DeMarzo follows Kameron Allen and Ian Stewart through the portal.

DeMarzo was a 3-star recruit in the 2020 class out of Hilton Head, South Carolina. The Spartans added multiple linebackers through the portal of late so this makes sense. Hopefully he can find a better fit by way of the portal.
