Michigan State Football 2024 Transfer Portal Tracker
The transfer portal has become a fixture of modern-day college athletics. It has changed the way head coaches build their programs and the way players handle their collegiate careers.
The spring transfer portal window is set to open this week, as Michigan State Football prepares to host its first annual "Spring Showcase" event on Saturday. The Spartans already lost several players from last year's roster both during the 30-day window, which opened in the wake of former head coach Mel Tucker's firing, and during the fall window, which opened immediately following the season. Likewise, new MSU coach Jonathan Smith and his staff were also very active in the portal upon arriving in East Lansing, with several new additions to the roster.
With a new window set to open this week, here's a reminder of Michigan State's transfer portal activity that has already taken place this offseason. Listed below is every player who has been added to and who has left Michigan State's football program thus far and their current status.
