Michigan State football’s Davion Primm moving from RB to CB

An MSU running back has moved to the defensive backfield

Davion Primm has found himself in the midst of a position change this camp, moving from running back to cornerback.

The change was likely made to better serve Primm, due to the crowded nature of the running backs room right now, that features 5 or 6 guys who are capable of playing.

The struggles in the MSU defensive backfield were no secret to anyone last season, and this is a move that could help solidify that position while not letting any of Primm’s talent go to waste.

Recruiting Round-up: How MSU Football commits performed last weekend

Take a look at how some of the commits in Michigan State’s 2021 recruiting class performed this past weekend.

We have eclipsed the first Friday in November, in what may be the wildest year high school football has ever seen. Some of Michigan State’s commits are still in their regular season, while others are competing in their state playoffs.

Michigan State has added 19 commits to its 2021 recruiting class and as their senior seasons unfold they are giving Spartan nation reasons to be excited about what the future of Michigan State Football has to offer.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights the 2021 class had this past week.

Three Michigan State commits rise in latest 247Sports ratings

Michigan State respects see their stocks improve in the latest re-rank.

The latest 247Sports re-rank was quite kind to Michigan State prospects.

Three of MSU’s four recruits, Davion Primm, Ethan Boyd, and Derrick Harmon, saw their stock rise in the recruiting site’s mid-April re-rank. Primm, a three-star running back from Oak Park, was the biggest riser, jumping 21 spots in the state of Michigan rankings and going from an 83 rating to an 86 rating. He jumped from No. 95 at running back all the way up to No. 52 at the position.

Also rising was Michigan State’s latest commit, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon out of Detroit Loyola. The three-star prospect went from an 83 to an 84 and went from the 44th-best player in Michigan up to the 34th-ranked player. He’s the 59th-best DT prospect in the country.

MSU’s other recruit from Michigan also rose in the rankings. Offensive tackle Ethan Boyd jumped eight spots in the state of Michigan, going from 29th to 21st. The 6-foot-7 East Lansing product is now ranked as the No. 57 offensive tackle in the country, up from No. 105. His rating jumped from an 84 to an 86.

MSU’s fourth commitment, three-star defensive back Gabe Nealy out of Miami, was stagnant in the re-rank. Nealy is a three-star prospect with an 85 rating.

Ever since Mel Tucker arrived in East Lansing, fans have watched as Michigan State sent out offer after offer to top recruits around the country. While it was nice to see the due diligence being done by the new administration, some fans were getting antsy with the lack of actual commitments coming in. Well, that changed Tuesday night when 2021 3-star running back Davion Primm posted his commitment on his Twitter account, marking the first commitment of the Tucker Era and of the 2021 MSU recruiting class.

You can read the Tweet and comments from Primm below:

Primm, who is out of Oak Park, Michigan, is the No. 86 ranked running back in the 2021 recruiting class according to 247sports‘ composite ranking. They also have him listed as the No. 31 ranked player in the state of Michigan.

This recruitment is accredited to MSU running backs coach William Peagler and Primm is a nice first addition to the 2021 class.

It also looks like there could be more commitments coming soon, as Primm’s high school teammate and MSU recruiting target Rayshaun Benny seemed to indicate that his decision could be incoming:

Benny visited Michigan State back in early March along with a few other top local prospects.
