[jwplayer PPs4Ox8k]

Ever since Mel Tucker arrived in East Lansing, fans have watched as Michigan State sent out offer after offer to top recruits around the country. While it was nice to see the due diligence being done by the new administration, some fans were getting antsy with the lack of actual commitments coming in. Well, that changed Tuesday night when 2021 3-star running back Davion Primm posted his commitment on his Twitter account, marking the first commitment of the Tucker Era and of the 2021 MSU recruiting class.

You can read the Tweet and comments from Primm below:

Primm, who is out of Oak Park, Michigan, is the No. 86 ranked running back in the 2021 recruiting class according to 247sports‘ composite ranking. They also have him listed as the No. 31 ranked player in the state of Michigan.

This recruitment is accredited to MSU running backs coach William Peagler and Primm is a nice first addition to the 2021 class.

It also looks like there could be more commitments coming soon, as Primm’s high school teammate and MSU recruiting target Rayshaun Benny seemed to indicate that his decision could be incoming:

Benny visited Michigan State back in early March along with a few other top local prospects.

Michigan State offers 2022 4-star CB Jyaire “Hollywood” Brown

MSU Football has offered one of the top defensive backs in the 2022 class a scholarship.

While Mel Tucker might not be able to do too much to turn around a “meh” 2021 recruiting class, he is certainly looking to get a head start on his 2022 efforts. On Tuesday, Michigan State Football offered one of the top defensive backs in the 2022 recruiting class in Jyaire “Hollywood” Brown.

Brown is currently ranked as the No. 17 cornerback in the 2022 class and the No. 6 ranked player in the state of Louisiana according to 247sports. Personally, I think if you are nicknamed Hollywood you should get an immediate 5-star ranking but maybe that’s why I’m not in charge of star ratings.

Tucker had already offered Brown while at Colorado and he has major interest from Mississippi State along with Texas, Utah, Tennessee, and Louisville, to name a few. He attends Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

MSU Football offers 2021 3-star WR Jalen Richmond out of Arizona

Michigan State has offered a 3-star WR out of Arizona in Jalen Richmond.

[jwplayer vSGh0IO2]

Michigan State Football continues to work at building up their 2021 recruiting, this time offering 2021 3-star wide receiver Jalen Richmond a scholarship.

Richmond is the No. 23 ranked player in Arizona by the 247sports rankings. A 6 foot, 175 lb. wide-out, Richmond currently does not have major interest from the big-hitters in college recruiting, with his top offer before MSU coming from Navy.

Tucker is behind the eight-ball with recruiting right now, taking over for Dantonio midstream, so to speak, and will need to hit on a few players like Richmond for this class to have major impact for the team.

Michigan State Football offers top-40 prospect Sage ‘Flash’ Ryan

MSU has offered a scholarship to the No. 2 ranked player in the state of Louisiana.

[jwplayer vSGh0IO2]

Part of the allure of bringing Mel Tucker to Michigan State is related to his pedigree as a recruiter capable of bringing in some of the top athletes in the country to his programs. While that is still a work in progress early into the process, Tucker and his team just offered one of the top athletes in the country a scholarship in 2021 4-star prospect Sage ‘Flash’ Ryan.

Ryan is a versatile athlete who currently doesn’t have just one set position. 247sports has him compared to former Michigan jack-of-all-trades Jabril Peppers, for context.  Ryan is the No. 39 ranked player in the 2021 class and the No. 2 ranked player in Louisiana. Given his highly-touted status, Ryan has offers out from all of the top programs in the country and is currently projected to end up at LSU. He also has offers from Alabama, Florida State, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, and Michigan, to name a few.

Tucker also had an offer out to him while he was still at Colorado.
