Michigan State Football re-offers 4-star DT Marcus Bradley

MSU has decided to re-offer a Mark Dantonio recruit in defensive tackle Marcus Bradley.

When he arrived at Michigan State, new football head coach Mel Tucker first had to review the state of MSU recruiting for the 2021 class under Mark Dantonio. From there, he had to make decisions on certain players and determine whether or not he wanted to re-offer them scholarships or not. One of those players was 4-star defensive tackle Marcus Bradley, who announced on Monday that he was re-offered by the Spartans.

Bradley is the No. 11 ranked defensive tackle and the No. 9 ranked player in Maryland in the 2021 class according to the 247sports composite rankings. They currently have him projected to be heading to Ohio State but that could change with the addition of a highly respected coach and recruiter like Mel Tucker now in town.

Michigan State Football offers highly coveted 2021 3-star RB Tavierre Dunlap

Michigan State offered the highly recruiting RB Tavierre Dunlap from Texas over the weekend.

It has become a full-time job just to keep up with all the recruiting news coming out of Michigan State these days, with Mel Tucker hard at work over the quarantine sending out offer after offer after offer. Late on Sunday night, highly coveted 3-star 2021 running back Tavierre Dunlap out of Del Valle, Texas announced he had received an offer from the Spartans.

Dunlap is the No. 25 ranked running back in the 2021 recruiting class according to the 247sports composite rankings. He has offers from numerous school, including Arizona, Arizona State, California, USC, Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Utah, to name a few. He also had an offer from Tucker back when he was the coach of Colorado so there was already a relationship established there, another example of Tucker capitalizing on resources and time investments he had made when still at Colorado.

MSU Football offers two 2022 offensive line prospects out of Colorado

Michigan State Football offered two 2022 offensive line prospects over the weekend.

The story of Michigan State Football over this coronavirus quarantine has been on the recruiting front, where Mel Tucker has been sending out scholarship offers left and right. In one of the latest batches of offers sent out, Tucker took advantage of his time spent in Colorado, offering two 2022 offensive line prospects from Colorado.

They are:

  • Grayson Stovall, OT, Regis Jesuit High School
  • Braden Miller, OT, Eaglecrest High School

Tucker’s respect as a coach and recruiter will have an immediate impact for the Spartans as he looks to capitalize on the connections he made at Colorado while he also starts to spread roots in his new home in Michigan.

MSU Football offers 2021 3-star QB currently committed to Missouri

Michigan State has offered a scholarship to 2021 dual threat quarterback Tyler Macon out of East St. Louis, Illinois.

Quarantine or not, Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Football recruiting team have not slowed any of the momentum they brought to the program when Tucker joined a month ago, firing off seemingly multiple offers a day to top recruits around the country. On Sunday, 3-star quarterback Tyler Macon out of East St. Louis, Illinois announced that he received an offer from MSU.

This is an interesting bit of recruiting news because Macon is already committed to Missouri, but perhaps the addition of Mel Tucker to the Spartans could sway his commitment.

Macon is the No. 19 ranked dual threat quarterback in the 2021 class according to the 247sports composite rankings.
