Michigan States top rusher, Makhi Frazier, is exploring transfer options, drawing interest from Big Ten rival Indiana and other powerhouses like Ohio State, Auburn, and Florida. Despite having two years of eligibility left, his departure could significantly impact the Spartans backfield this fall.

Michigan State is making waves in the transfer portal, securing key defensive talent and skill players with a massive boost to the program. Theyve landed Eli Coenen, a 67 DL from Illinois, Dion Crawford, a 61 LB from Buffalo, and KK Smith, a 61 WR from Notre Dame. Additionally, Nebraska kick returner Kenneth Williams visited campus. These moves aim to rebuild the Spartans fast, with the portal window closing this weekend.

Michigan State football, under new coach Pat Fitzgerald, has been actively recruiting from the transfer portal to rebuild its roster for the 2026 season. Theyve recently secured a significant commitment from Illinois defensive tackle Eli Coenen, a 67, 290-pound force from Wisconsin. Coenen, who started at Division II Bemidji State before transferring to Illinois, had a breakout redshirt freshman year and showed promise in his limited time with the Illini. His addition bolsters Michigan States defensive line and signals their aggressive approach under Fitzgerald.
