Luke Fulton was a member of Michigan State’s 2019 recruiting class. A highly touted 4-star out of Youngstown, Ohio, Spartan fans had high hopes that Fulton would be the next great linebacker in East Lansing.

Fulton was set to compete for one of the linebacker spots in 2020, but an off the field issue kept the redshirt freshman away from the team during training camp. Fulton never returned to the team and had entered his name in the transfer portal at the conclusion of the season.

Fulton is headed to the SEC and is the first outgoing transfer to land at a power five school. Kentucky was after the linebacker out of high school and have now got him.

Mel Tucker will look to fill his void through the transfer portal and upcoming recruiting classes.

Michigan State has lost another player to the transfer portal. Wide receiver and cornerback Julian Barnett has entered his name in the transfer portal after receiving very little play time this year. He joins Marcel Lewis, Charles Willekes and Luke Fulton as players to put their name in the transfer portal this year.

Barnett was a 4-star prospect out of Belleville, MI. He was also the No. 57 player and No. 8 cornerback in the class of 2019. Barnett was switched to wide receiver upon his arrival on campus and saw sparse play time his freshman year.  Barnett finished his freshman year with 13 receptions for 182 yards and two carries for 19 yards.

Barnett was then flipped back to cornerback this season, but barely saw the field. He was able to record three tackles over two games this season. Barnett slipped in the depth chart behind players like Chris Jackson and true freshman Angelo Grose.

Barnett could do what Connor Heyward did last year and test the waters and come back.

Michigan State LB’s Luke Fulton, Charles Willekes enter transfer portal

Michigan State has lost two linebackers, Luke Fulton and Charles Willekes, to the transfer portal. Look for Mel Tucker to add to the core.

Michigan State has lost two more players to the transfer portal. Red-shirt freshman linebackers Luke Fulton and Charles Willekes are the latest defections to the portal.

Neither Fulton or Willekes have suited up for the Spartans this year as a suspension was handed down on both of them before the season had begun. The suspension was the result of an off the field investigation being done over a situation that had taken place. Fulton was initially charged with aggravated assault and there were no known charges for Willekes.

This would mark three linebackers to transfer from the Spartans, after Marcel Lewis announced his decision to transfer earlier this season. That leaves Michigan State with eight scholarship linebackers for the remainder of this season.

With no linebackers currently committed in the 2021 recruiting class, expect to see head coach Mel Tucker, defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton and linebackers coach Ross Els to add one or two linebackers through the 2021 recruiting class, as well as hitting the transfer portal hard this off-season.
