A pair of new faces from the transfer portal are making an impact for the Spartans off the edge in fall camp

A pair of new faces from the transfer portal are making an impact for the Spartans off the edge in fall camp.

Michigan State rush-ends coach Chad Wilt met with the media earlier this week and paid some praise to a pair of transfer accusations from this offseason. Wilt highlighted the play of both Anthony Jones and Ty Gillison through the first few weeks of practice. Wilt especially called out their experience from previous stops as an important trait.

Jones previously played for Indiana while Gillison was at Cincinnati before coming to Michigan State.

MSU football lands edge transfer Ty Gillison from Cincinnati

Cincinnati edge transfer Ty Gillison commits to Michigan State!

Michigan State football has picked up a massive transfer portal commitment from Ty Gillison, an edge transfer from Cincinnati. He is the younger brother of former MSU tight end Trenton Gillison.

Gillison is a 6-foot-4, 240 pound OLB/DE hybrid that will be a perfect scheme fit in MSU’s new look defense, that uses an OLB/DE hybrid as an edge to convert their defensive look from a 4-2-5 to a 3-3-5 and vise versa.

As a redshirt freshman, in his one season with the Bearcats, Gillison recorded 15 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and had one pass defended.

Gillison will bring three years of eligibility to East Lansing with him.
