Former Michigan State football TE Maliq Carr commits to Houston

A few years ago, Michigan State football had a huge victory when they were able to lure tight end Maliq Carr from Purdue via the transfer portal. While Carr showed some flashes in his time with MSU, he will now be moving on to a new home, committing to Houston on Monday.

Carr had his best season as a Spartan this past year, catching 30 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns.

We had heard rumblings that a large group of Michigan State football players may enter the transfer portal this weekend to explore their options as the new MSU coaching staff starts to bring in their own transfers and recruits, changing the landscape in the program, and that is what we are starting to see.

One of the bigger names to enter the portal is Maliq Carr, the Spartans’ tight end who was a former transfer from Purdue.

Carr had 30 receptions for 353 yards and three touchdowns this past season.

10 Michigan State football players Jonathan Smith needs to retain

10 current MSU players Jonathan Smith should heavily focus on retaining:

The first thing on the list for Jonathan Smith upon arriving to East Lansing will be meeting with the current roster, and recruiting the current roster to stick around and not hit the transfer portal.

No one is denying that the Spartans have a plethora of young talent on the roster, with the past two recruiting classes being very good, and it will be imperative that Smith can keep that talent in East Lansing for his staff to develop.

Let’s take a look at ten players Michigan State and Coach Smith need to retain on the roster:

Michigan State football bringing Old Brass Spittoon back to East Lansing, defeats Indiana

Michigan State is bringing Old Brass Spittoon back to East Lansing after defeating Indiana on the road

The Old Brass Spittoon is coming back to East Lansing after the Spartans went on the road to Bloomington to knock off Indiana, 24-21.

MSU avoided being on the wrong side of history, avoiding back to back losses to the Hoosiers for the first time since a three game losing streak from 1967-69.

Down 21-17, it was redshirt freshman QB Katin Houser leading the Spartans on an 8-play, 75 yard game winning touchdown drive, capped off by a 36-yard touchdown pass to Maliq Carr.

With just over a minute to go, the Spartans needed one more stop to hold off the pesty Hoosiers, and they did just that. A bend-don’t-break drive left Indiana a 50-yard field goal that went wide right, securing the win for MSU.

Houser finished the game throwing the ball 26-for-41 and 245 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. The Spartans were led by Carr with 9 receptions for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Montorie Foster added 7 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown.

The Spartans, now 4-7, will head to Ford Field for the season finale against Penn State next week.

The Lansing State Journal did a story on the Spartans’ top tight end this week, which focused on Carr’s growth within his position. A notable quote from the story was that “Maliq is finally at a point where he’s truly embracing that he’s a tight end.”

Carr has appeared in 24 games for Michigan State since transferring from Purdue during the 2021 offseason. He has recorded 24 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns.

“Maliq (Carr) is finally at a point where he’s truly embracing that he’s a tight end. … We all know he’s a big, athletic guy, but he just wasn’t ready in my opinion the last couple years for certain situations.”

Good insight on MSU’s No. 1 tight end.https://t.co/nDudqyuW7g
