Mel Tucker and the Michigan State football staff are dealing with some inclement conditions when it comes to recruiting the 2021 class. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has really hurt the ability to recruit in person. Nonetheless, the Spartans have pulled in two impressive recruits this past weekend: three-star safety Jah’Von Grigsby and four-star running back Audric Estime.

The Spartans 2021 football class now ranks No. 54 in the nation according to 247Sports updated recruiting rankings. Also, MSU’s 2021 football recruiting class is the 12th-ranked class in the Big Ten.

Again, Tucker has brought in some solid 2021 recruits despite being hired late while facing a pandemic. I can’t wait to see what he does with even more time at his disposal.
