Mel Tucker is known for his recruiting prowess and being someone that is well-liked across the high school ranks. In 2021, Tucker has started his tenure at Michigan State with a strong class.
One member of that recruiting class will no longer be with the team. Alex Okelo, a defensive end from Tennessee, has entered the transfer portal.
Michigan State DE Alex Okelo has entered the transfer portal. Was a 2021 signee. Have to imagine MSU will look to add some help at DE next season.

Okelo, a 3-star ranked just inside the top-1000, did not appear on the roster to start this season.
This will thin Michigan State’s defensive end room, which means we should expect Michigan State to focus on defensive ends towards the end of this recruiting cycle and in the transfer portal.
