Michigan State adds portal WR target Alante Brown over Colorado, Cincinnati, and 18 others.​

Neatly a month after Michigan State saw its leading returning receiver Keon Coleman enter the transfer portal, the Spartans turned to the portal to add a pass-catcher for the upcoming season. Former Nebraska WR Alante Brown announced his decision to commit to MSU on social media today. The former four-star Top247 prospect was once committed to Michigan State as a high school prospect in 2019, and now finds he way back to the Spartans to close out his college career.

As of two weeks ago, Brown had 20 total transfer portal offers including Colorado and Cincinnati. During his first season with Nebraska, he had the fastest forty-yard dash time, per then-HC Scott Frost. As a sophomore in 2022, Brown started 10 games for the Huskers, racking up 16 catches for 191 yards. Nebraska finished 8th in the B1G in passing yards (context: MSU was 6th), so that didn't help Brown's stats. With him ideally playing in a better passing offense and being a year older, Brown should certainly out-produce his sophomore self.

In his prep school highlight reel, which is embedded below, Brown shows a great speed and gadget-use versatility. Bubble screens, quick slants, jet sweeps, and all other creativity is fully on the table. His high school team in 2019 used him as an option-QB to get him the ball immediately on every play. As a whole, it doesn't appear that Brown will be a high-volume alpha receiver like Jayden Reed was, but he possesses a few similar traits and will at least make the room more balanced.
While Tyrell Henry is expected to be a guy that can take the top off of defenses during his MSU career, a more seasoned option like Brown gives MSU more comfort and security when it comes to that player type. In the best case scenario, both Henry and Brown end up starting, with Henry being a deep-threat and Brown being the YAC receiver used in the quick game, with these roles alternating constantly to keep defenses guessing.

Tucker is in dire straights. SAD! Only 86 million left on his buyout probably

Surprising!

I'm probably forgetting someone, but Along with Ajay to Miami, this has to be about as good of landing spot as one of our transfers out has found, isn't it?

(Not counting Hausman, since he may have had Michigan lined up before entering the portal. But as far as guys not recruited into the portal Brown seems to have done as well as anyone.)

probably ought to at least acknowledge Jalil Martin to Syracuse - they had a better conference record in the ACC than Miami did last year

Bet On3 is having a load boner right now about how good he was

I'll miss the offseason articles about how this is the year he's breaking through.

You can probably still get them on the Michigan State site if you miss them so much it hurts.

It's not the same. It just hits different when it's part of Tunnel Talk.

 

[Kaladin]

Any idea what Alante plans to do there
