Mel Tucker and Michigan State football have one of the best recruiting classes of the modern era at MSU coming in for 2023, and that goes double for the defensive linemen in that class. One of the best recruits of that group made his commitment official on Wednesday, when 4-star lineman Jalen Thompson signed his national letter of intent during the early signing period.
Thompson, who is from Cass Tech in Detroit, is the No. 220 ranked player in the 2023 class and the No. 3 ranked player in the state of Michigan. At 6’4″, 245-pounds, he brings instant size and talent to the defensive line.
