BREAKING: MSU Football Lands Top MAC Transfer WR
They did it again.
The Michigan State Spartans knew that this offseason was a crucial one for Coach Jonathan Smith and company. A host of talented players in the transfer portal or graduated or gone for the NFL Draft.
Like the NFL, when you have a future at quarterback, you need to fill in everything around that player. Aidan Chiles is here to stay in East Lansing and his immense ceiling as a signal caller warrants and investment. With Jaron Glover, Aziah Johnson and Jaelen Smith in the portal, it was vital that the Spartans find more targets for Chiles.
A suitable No. 2 behind Nick Marsh could be a game-changer. On Monday, the Spartans landed someone who could be just that.
Kent State wide receiver Chrishon McCray committed to Michigan State, giving the Spartans a dynamic deep ball threat. McCray, who was second-team All-Mid-American Conference, notched 81 receptions for 1,315 yards and 13 touchdowns over the previous two seasons.
McCray announced his commitment on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
As I reported previously:
McCray is a speed threat who can handle all of the duties asked of a wide receiver. He can play in the slot or move to the outside. He has been commended for his control and his route-running ability. McCray would be a good pairing with Marsh, who is also a vertical threat combining speed and route-running. ... Landing McCray would give quarterback Aidan Chiles another weapon in the vertical passing game and add a new wrinkle to this offense.
McCray visited East Lansing this weekend. Clearly it went well.
