Jaren Mangham is coming back to his home state of Michigan. He played his high school football at Cass Tech in Detroit.

He missed most of the 2022 season with an ankle injury. Mangham’s best season was in 2021 in which he had 160 carries, 671 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns that season. Mangham also caught five passes for 50 yards.

Mangham was named to the All-Conference third team by Pro Football Focus after his standout 2021 campaign. Before the 2022 season, he was named to the All-Conference second team by Athlon Sports.

He adds to the depth of the MSU running back room that includes sixth-year seniors Elijah Collins and Harold Joiner, senior Jordon Simmons, redshirt junior Jalen Berger, redshirt junior and UConn transfer Nathan Carter and freshman Jaelon Barbarin.

MSU is now up to 10 transfers since the portal window opened on Dec. 5. You can keep track of all the transfer updates with the Spartans Illustrated portal tracker.
