A couple of years ago, Michigan State defensive back Jaden Mangham decided to enter the transfer portal, and it was slightly surprising considering he had said previously that he wanted to tough it out and not just transfer.
Mangham went back on his word which rubbed some fans the wrong way, but you can’t blame kids in the days of the transfer portal and NIL.
What really made Spartan fans angry, however, was the fact that he decided to transfer down the road to Michigan. That’s just not something that’s usually done between the two rivals, and Michigan State fans took exception to it, especially when he explained why he did it: he wanted to play for a program that could get him to the NFL.
