Mel Tucker and Michigan State Football’s recruiting efforts are taking over the world. Today, the Spartans found their punter for the 2021 recruiting class as Australian Punter Mark Vassett announced his commitment to Michigan State.

Vassett comes from the ProKick Program, which was also home to former Michigan State Punter, Jack Bouwmeester. Mark Vassett stands at an absolutely sturdy 6’4″ and weighs 210 pounds, continuing the trend of tall recruits for Mel Tucker and company.

The Spartans recently landed UTEP graduate transfer Punter Mitchell Crawford, who is also from Australia and has one remaining year of eligibility. Michigan State also has redshirt junior walk-ons, Bryce Baringer and Tyler Hunter.

As you likely know, Michigan State just landed a commitment from 3-star safety Michael Gravely Jr. out of Ohio. As a result, the MSU Football 2021 Recruiting Class is now ranked No. 21 in the country by 247sports.

After Michigan State Football landed the commitment of 3-star safety Michael Gravely Jr., Mel Tucker now has 11 players committed to his 2021 recruiting class. With the addition, the Spartans continue to climb up the national rankings and are now ranked at No. 21 overall by 247sports.

The entire MSU 2021 class is currently comprised of all 3-star recruits in the eyes of 247sports, although cornerback Charles Brantley is ranked as a 4-star by Rivals. The Spartans are ranked No. 10 in the Big Ten right now and have an average recruit rating of .8495.

For context, the 2020 recruiting class is ranked No. 43 overall by 247sports and No. 10 in the Big Ten and the 2019 class was ranked No. 31. So, while we have not been able to see any of Tucker’s on-field product as head coach, he is at the very least making some improvements on the recruiting front, at least through the lens of the 247sports rankings.

It’s never too early to get started on recruiting, even if we are over three years away from a player even getting to college. Michigan State Football coach Mel Tucker is getting the early jump on a number of top 2023 recruits, this time offering 2023 athlete DeAndre Moore Jr. out of Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This is the ninth player in the 2023 recruiting class to be offered by the Spartans. Moore is currently listed as an athlete, meaning he can play multiple positions, but looks to be primarily a wide receiver and cornerback.

Moore is already a highly coveted recruit for 2023, garnering early offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, and many more.

Michigan State Football has offered one of the top tight ends in the 2021 class in Seffner Christian Academy’s Michael Trigg. I made sure to emphasize the fact that this is the Football team offering Trigg because he is also a 3-star shooting guard according to Rivals.

In the football realm, Trigg is the No. 3 ranked tight end in the country according to the 247sports rankings and the No. 16 ranked player in Florida.

Trigg is currently projected to end up at Florida State according to the 247sports projections.

In addition to MSU and Florida State, Trigg also has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and many more so this is another example of Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker throwing his hat in the ring for one of the biggest game-changers in the 2021 recruiting class.

MSU Football offers 6-foot-5, 300-pound 2022 OT Nick Williams

Michigan State has offered an unranked, but very large 2022 offensive tackle out of North Augusta, South Carolina.

If we ever post an article about an offensive lineman who has recently been offered by Michigan State Football head coach Mel Tucker, you can rest assured that guy is, at the bare minimum, going to be over 6’4″. Tucker has shown a commitment to adding length to his football team through recruitment and that goes doubly so for the offensive line. On Tuesday, the Spartans offered a 6’5″, 300-pound offensive tackle in Nick Williams out of Fox Creek Charter High School. Williams would be part of the 2022 recruiting class.

Williams is currently unranked on 247sports, but has some major offers from schools like Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Penn State and Tennessee.

At his size, you can tell why Tucker and offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic are interested in Williams.
