Tom Izzo and the Michigan State basketball staff were in hot pursuit of a transfer point guard as the offseason began and they landed their guy Saturday afternoon.
Tyson Walker has announced his commitment to transfer to Michigan State. Walker will come with three years of eligibility remaining after starting his career at Northeastern University.

Walker is a guy who plays hard on both ends of the court, averaging 18.8 points per game on offense and also winning the CAA Defensive Player of the Year award at the same time. A star on offense and defensive at Northeastern, something Coach Izzo surely loved to see.
The Spartans beat out Kansas, Maryland, Miami, Texas and Vanderbilt to earn Walker’s commitment. Walker should help solidify a backcourt that struggled throughout the 2020-21 season.
