Michigan State football has been given a positive review for its work in the spring transfer portal

Michigan State football has been given a positive review for its work in the spring transfer portal.

Rivals has released their post-spring transfer portal grades, and Michigan State landed one of the best grades in the Big Ten. Rivals gave the Spartans a “B-” grade, which was only behind Washington (B+) and Minnesota (B) in the league.

Here’s a bit of what Jacey Zembal of Rivals had to say about Michigan State:

“Michigan State has been busy with players coming and going this spring.

The addition of 5-foot-10, 205-pound (Kay’Ron) Lynch-Adams could be a big one. He rushed 236 times for 1,157 yards and 12 touchdowns at UMass, which was his fifth year of college. He played his first two years at Rutgers.”
