Pat Fitzgerald has been living in the transfer portal over the past 1.5 weeks, and he’s done a fantastic job of landing nearly 30 newcomers so far. Michigan State did lost about 40 players to the portal and will have other open spots on the roster to fill, so Fitzgerald had to make sure he ate, slept, and breathed transfer portal after it opened on Jan. 2.
Now, he’s filling up the transfer class quickly, and with limited spots left, he can focus on trying to get one final piece of the 2026 class puzzle completed.
Four-star wide receiver commit Samson Gash opted not to sign in the early period with Michigan State, and instead continue to ponder his options.
