Michigan State is remaining active on the recruiting trail this week, with another offer to a highly-touted rising 2023 recruit in SEC Country.

Kayden McDonald, a 6-foot-3 and 325-pound defensive tackle at North Gwinnett High in Suwanee, Ga., was the latest prospect to receive an offer from Mel Tucker and his staff, joining a number of recruits to be handed an offer in the past two days.

McDonald has yet to receive a rating from 247Sports but it’s safe to say he’ll be a highly rated prospect. The Spartans were the third team already to offer him, joining a pair of SEC powers in Georgia and Tennessee. Both the Bulldogs and Vols issued an offer to McDonald last week.

McDonald is the second recruit out of Georgia in the class of 2023 to receive an offer from Michigan State this week, with highly-touted defensive end Lebbeus Overton announcing yesterday he received a scholarship offer from the Spartans. Overton is currently the top-ranked player in the 247Sports 2023 recruiting rankings.

Tennessee offers 2023 Georgia prospect

The Vols are just the second SEC school to offer this North Gwinnett offensive lineman.

Tennessee will compete with Georgia for the signature of 2023 offensive lineman Kayden McDonald.

The 6-foot-3, 325-pound sophomore from North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia has two SEC offers from Tennessee and Georgia.

 

Although he does not have any official ratings from the 247Sports Composite, the Vols liked his size and upside enough to assign defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley to McDonald as his primary recruiter.

Defensive line coach Tray Scott is Georgia’s main recruiter for the 2023 prospect.

While McDonald could turn into a top prospect in his class, it is still very early in his recruiting cycle. The Vols do not have a prospect committed to the 2023 recruiting class.
