The transfer portal is seeing a record number of players entering to look for new homes around college football.
Michigan State is no exception, and it will see its fair share of attrition within the roster. On the flip side, the Spartans are looking to bring in a large number of transfers to enhance the roster and fill holes left through graduation, transfers and other departures.
Take a look at Michigan State’s 2023 transfer tracker of outgoing and incoming transfers:

WR Keon Coleman (Florida State)
This news shocked fans; Coleman was slated to be the No. 1 option for Michigan State this year.
QB Payton Thorne (Auburn)
Almost as shocking as the Coleman news, Thorne entered the portal on the same day as Keon after seeming to sense a quarterback controversy brewing for his starting spot. Noah Kim and Katin Houser look to be making a good case to claim the job even if Thorne had stayed.
