Michigan State has added another new Spartan from the transfer portal, earning the commitment from Ben VanSumeren. VanSumeren will be transferring from in-state rival Michigan.
A member of Michigan’s 2018 recruiting class, from Essexville, Michigan and Garber High School and rated as a high 3-star.

VanSumeren has seen time as a starting linebacker at the SAM position in Ann Arbor, as well as a starting fullback. He will be coming to Michigan State as a linebacker who will excel at supporting in the run game.
VanSumeren’s younger brother, Alex, is also a priority recruit for Mel Tucker’s staff. Alex is a 4-star defensive tackle and is somewhat expected to follow his brother Ben. Let’s see if Mel Tucker can close out that recruitment in the Spartans favor.
Ben VanSumeren will be a great addition to help retool MSU’s defense and is an experienced linebacker, which is a position the Spartans desperately need some depth.
