It is no secret the new staff at Michigan State is here to recruit, and recruit very well. That sentiment showed again this morning when the Spartans were featured in 4-star wide receiver Tayshawn Trent’s top team’s list.

Trent’s list featured a top-8 that included the Spartans along with Michigan, Penn State, West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, Kentucky and Indiana.

Tayshawn Trent is a big-bodied wide receiver, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing just over 200 pounds. His ability to use his size to his advantage is a big reason why he was given a 4-star ranking. He is from Eastpointe, Michigan, and plays his high school football at Eastpointe High School.

Michigan State has yet to add a wide receiver in its 2021 recruiting class, but there is a possibility one or two are added before the February signing day. It is also expected that Mel Tucker and his staff want 3-5 players at the position in the 2022 recruiting class.

It is going to be an exciting year to follow Michigan State’s football recruiting.

A big part of new Michigan State Football head coach Mel Tucker’s job will be to win the recruiting battle in Detroit, a city that produces a lot of talent that is heavily recruited by MSU, Michigan, Penn State, and more. It looks like the Spartans will enter competition to recruit a big name in the Detroit football scene as it was announced on Thursday that Michigan State has offered 2022 4-star wide receiver Tayshawn Trent out of East Detroit High School.

Trent already has offers out from Michigan and Penn State, two schools who frequently challenge the Spartans for recruits out of the Metro Detroit area. The 247Sports Composite Rankings have him ranked as the No. 7 best player in the state of Michigan and the No. 36 best wide receiver in the 2022 recruiting class. The 247Sports ranking has him ranked a little lower as a 3-star and the No. 13 best player in the state.

At 6’4″, he certainly fits the profile of a Mel Tucker recruiting target.
