Up until just a few weeks ago, 2021 4-star defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny out of Oak Park, Michigan was projected to go to Michigan. After MSU’s victory over U of M, however, the predictions suddenly shifted to Michigan State Football. On Monday, that was realized when Benny announced his commitment to the Spartans in a live conference at Oak Park High School.

This is a huge recruiting victory for Mel Tucker and his 2021 recruiting class. Benny is the No. 6 ranked player in Michigan by the 247Sports rankings and their No. 15 defensive tackle overall in the 2021 class.

Mel Tucker will need to fend off Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State when going for these big time prospects, and at least for Benny he was able to do just that.

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.
