In addition to Faleye, the Spartans hosted a few other transfer targets this past weekend. That included highly-touted defensive lineman Tunmise Adeleye (Texas A&M), tight end Jaylan Franklin (Wisconsin) and cornerback Semar Melvin (Wisconsin). Four-star offensive lineman and JUCO recruit Keyshawn Blackstock was also on campus.

Faleye joins four-star tight end Brennan Parachek as part of the 2023 class. Next year's roster is also expected to include Maliq Carr, Jack Nickel, Michael Masunas, Hamp Fay and others at the tight end position.

Michigan State has had eight players enter the transfer portal thus far. Keep up with all of MSU's portal activity with the Spartans Illustrated transfer tracker.
