Michigan State lands 3-star 2021 IMG Academy tight end Jake Renda

For the first time in six weeks Michigan State football has landed a recruit.

Three-star tight end Jake Renda out of New Jersey is the latest class of 2021 football player to choose Mel Tucker’s Michigan State Spartans.

Renda, who is heading to football powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida next year, chose MSU over power five offers from Boston College, NC State, and Arizona.

Renda is rated by 247Sports as a three-star prospect. Renda does not have a composite ranking in the service because he isn’t rated by all of the recruiting sites. There is a good explanation for all of this. Renda has been playing quarterback during his football career at Lawrence (NJ) Notre Dame, but has switched to tight end after transferring to play at IMG Academy. All of Renda’s power five offers have come in the last month, with MSU offering June 23. While Renda is committed, it’s a fair bet to say that his recruiting isn’t over with the move to IMG.

Renda is the second tight end in the 2021 class, joining North Forney (TX) standout Kameron Allen.
