Trio of incoming MSU transfers officially start summer classes, join football program

Michigan State has officially welcomed three of their most touted incoming transfers into their football program

Michigan State has officially welcomed three of their most touted incoming transfers into their football program.

Chris Solari of The Detroit Free Press reported on Monday that tight end Daniel Barker (Illinois), running back Jarek Broussard (Colorado) and offensive lineman Brian Greene (Washington State) have all officially arrived to Michigan State. The three grad transfers have arrived with summer classes beginning this week.

In two years with Colorado, Broussard ran for 1,556 yards and seven touchdowns on 298 carries.

Daniel Barker comes from a fellow Big Ten school in Illinois. In his time with the Fighting Illini, Barker had 64 receptions for 827 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Greene was a two-year starter at Washington State at center, and was an All-Pac-12 Conference Honorable Mention.

All three of these incoming transfers missed spring practice but are expected to contend for starting roles this upcoming season. So it’s great to see each of these three players officially arrive to Michigan State and get started with the Spartans football program.

MSU football offers South Carolina transfer OT Jazston Turnetine

Michigan State football has extended an offer to South Carolina transfer offensive tackle Jazston Turnetine

Michigan State football has extended an offer to South Carolina transfer offensive tackle Jazston Turnetine.

Turnetine announced the offer from the Spartans via Twitter on Sunday. He is originally from Stockbridge, Ga., and is listed at 6-foot-6 and 337 pounds.

Turnetine started 10 games at left tackle for the Gamecocks, and is a target that has already received plenty of interest since entering the portal in late April. Florida State, Louisiana Tech, Houston, Arkansas State, Bowling Green and UConn have also extended offers his way, according to his Twitter account.

It appears Michigan State is looking to add a key piece to their offensive line depth with this offer to Turnetine. With starting experience at South Carolina, he would be a nice addition to what the Spartans already have in place and would certainly contend for a spot in the starting line up.
