Whyce, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound lineman from Dayton, Ohio, plays for Trotwood-Madison High School. He has also received offers from Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisville and Indiana, among others.

According to 247Sports, Whyce's primary recruiter from Michigan State is Spartans defensive line coach Legi Suiaunoa, who is entering his first season on the coaching staff.

Suiaunoa coached Oregon State's defensive line for six seasons under Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith.

The Spartans defensive line coach discussed recruiting at Michigan State when he addressed reporters back in the spring.

"The recruiting base this area has -- I mean, the state of Michigan, high school football in this state," Suiaunoa said. "And then, really, the high school football in the three-hour radius of this place. So, there's a lot of qualities that exist in this place that we think, obviously, can be to our advantage."

Michigan State is one of the first Big Ten teams to offer Whyce, which could be huge in its endeavor to land the young defensive lineman.
