Michigan State football OT Ethan Boyd removes name from NCAA transfer portal

OT Ethan Boyd is removing his name from the portal and returning to MSU:

Michigan State won a huge recruiting battle in the transfer portal on Monday afternoon, getting offensive lineman Ethan Boyd to remove his name from the NCAA transfer portal.

Boyd is in line to be a starter at either the right or left tackle position for Michigan State in 2024 and retaining his talents was a crucial win for Jonathan Smith and his staff.

Boyd was pursued by power conference teams, but the Spartans were able to hang on to the East Lansing native.

Michigan State head football coach Mel Tucker has announced that redshirt junior offensive tackle Mustafa Khaleefah has opted out of the remainder of the 2020 season. The opt-out was cited due to COVID-19 reasons.

Khaleefah was a member of the 2017 recruiting class, being ranked as a 3-star prospect out of Dearborn High School in Dearborn, Michigan.

In his three seasons at Michigan State, the offensive tackle has been seen on the field in seven games, playing just over 40 snaps on the offensive line. Khaleefah has never started a game with the Spartans. It is unknown at this time if Spartan nation will see Khaleefah return to East Lansing for spring ball or the fall of 2021.

Khaleefah joins fellow offensive lineman Jordan Reid and Justin Stevens on the list of opt-outs Michigan State football has had this season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
