The NCAA suspended all on and off-campus recruiting today due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, but not before Michigan State Football and new head coach Mel Tucker were able to get off a few more scholarship offers. We already covered the offer they sent to 3-star defensive end Hammond Russell. Two hours after that offer was revealed, Aidan Hubbard, the 3-star outside linebacker out of St. Ignatius High School, announced on Twitter that he also received an offer from the Spartans.

Hubbard is the No. 42 ranked outside linebacker according to 247sports’ composite rankings. They also have him ranked as the No. 23 ranked player in the state of Ohio which puts him 3 spots ahead of Hammond Russell.

Hubbard has offers from a number of Big Ten schools including Minnesota, Northwestern, and Purdue. Wisconsin also has an interest in the outside linebacker.

The 6’4″, 290 pound Booker has scholarship offers from some of the top programs in the country like Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Michigan.

It’ll be interesting to see if Tucker can swing a couple big-name recruits away from some of the highest-profile teams in the SEC and Big Ten.

Here is Booker’s announcement of the offer, which he revealed on Twitter:

New MSU Football HC Mel Tucker offers scholarships to two 2021 3-star prospects

Michigan State’s new head coach Mel Tucker has extended scholarship offers to two 3-star prospects in the 2021 class.

A big reason why Michigan State poached new head coach Mel Tucker from Colorado was for his reputation as one of the top recruiters in college football, and the new leader of MSU Football has already started working on his 2021 recruiting class. Two 2021 3-star recruits announced on Twitter on Tuesday that they had received scholarship offers from the Spartans.

The first player to announce his offer was Cameron James, a huge, 6’8″ offensive tackle from Simeon High School in Chicago, Illinois. Tucker has a reputation of loving big offensive linemen so this certainly fits the bill. 247sports has James listed as the No. 46 ranked offensive tackle in the 2021 class.

Shortly after James announced his offer, Ari Patu announced his own. Patu is a dual-threat quarterback out of Folsom High School in California and 247sports has him listed as the No. 12 ranked dual-threat QB in his class.

Recruiting will be something we monitor closely under the Tucker regime, so stay tuned for more info.
