The slogan of Mel Tucker and his Michigan State Football team in 2020 has been ‘Relentless’, and that has applied to the recruiting arena as well where Tucker and his staff have been unrelenting in their pursuit of top talent. They have also been incredibly bold in these recruiting offers, rarely shying away from offering some of the top players in the country, the types of players Michigan State has failed to recruit in recent years.
The latest example of this is Monday night’s offer of Lebbeus Overton, a highly coveted defensive end out of Alpharetta, Georgia’s Milton High School for the class of 2023.
Overton is currently the top-ranked player in the 247Sports 2023 recruiting rankings and already projected by them to go to Oklahoma when he’s finally ready for college. He also has offers out from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, and other heavy hitters so this is definitely a hail mary pass from Mel Tucker.
Blessed to receive and offer from Michigan State University 💚🤍 Go Spartans !!! @MiltonEagles_FB @MattDeBary @ChadSimmons_ @DemetricDWarren @kentuckyvb_13 @MSU_Football pic.twitter.com/sZV2juNskZ
