Mel Tucker has no fear on the recruiting trail. The Michigan State Football head coach is already going after two players (Steffan Johnson, Albert Reese) who had previously committed to Rutgers, and it looks like he is now also targeting one of the top recruits in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class in 4-star CB Philip Riley Jr.
Riley is the No. 13 ranked cornerback in the country by the 247Sports rankings and the No. 28 ranked player in Florida. He’s had offers from some huge players including Clemson, Texas, Iowa, Penn State, Oregon, Mississippi State and more, so it would be pretty surprising if Tucker can pull him away from Notre Dame amidst all of the other interested parties, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to throw your hat in the ring for a game-changing player.
