Michigan State makes top five for 2021 three-star linebacker Mikai Gbayor

Gbayor includes MSU in his top group with Kentucky, Ole Miss, Nebraska, and West Virginia.

Michigan State football already has one recruit from New Jersey in the 2021 class and could be close to adding a second.

Three-star linebacker Mikai Gbayor released his top five schools Monday evening and MSU made the cut along with Nebraska, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and West Virginia.

MSU offered Gbayor back in April. If he were to choose MSU, he would be the second Garden State recruit for Mel Tucker’s inaugural class along with offensive guard Kevin Wigenton. Gbayor is ranked by 247Sports as the ninth-best player in all of New Jersey. The 247 composite rankings have him at the No. 679 prospect in the class of 2021.

Outside of his top five Gbayor also boasts offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan, and Texas A&M among many others.

Gbayor previously had planned to commit to a school at the beginning of June, but pushed it back due to the coronavirus pandemic canceling his visits to prospective schools.

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.
