Stewart Mandel of The Athletic is high on Michigan State football entering the 2022 season.
Mandel released an updated batch of his early top 25 rankings on Friday, and it saw the Spartans landing in the top 10. He has Michigan State at No. 8 — one spot ahead of rival Michigan at No. 9.
Mandel previously had Michigan State at No. 10 in his first batch of rankings, but gave the Spartans a boost up after some recent transfer additions. Here’s a bit of what he had to say about Michigan State:
“A year after plucking star running back Kenneth Walker from Wake Forest, Mel Tucker landed Colorado’s Jarek Broussard, the Pac-12’s 2020 Offensive Player of the Year who ran for 301 yards in a game against Arizona.”

A lot of teams have added and/or lost a lot of key transfers since Jan. 11.
