Florida defensive end announces transfer to Michigan State
Not many programs have worked the transfer portal better than the Michigan State Spartans. On Wednesday, another high-level defensive transfer announced East Lansing would be his destination.
Florida Gators defensive end Khris Bogle announced he would be playing for Michigan State next season via Twitter. Head coach Mel Tucker confirmed the former On3 Consensus four-star prospect would be joining the program as well on Wednesday.
Bogle entered the transfer portal after his junior year, finishing the 2021 season with 22 tackles, three tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, and two quarterback hurries over a 10 game stretch. He split time with Brenton Cox Jr. at the defensive end position last season at Florida. Now, Bogle will have the opportunity for a full-time spot with the Spartans.
He will have two years of eligibility remaining thanks to the COVID-19 season.
Michigan State makes amazing gesture for Oxford shooting victim
Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Spartans made a touching Signing Day gesture for fallen Oxford shooting victim Tate Myre.
Before announcing the signings of their 20 class of 2022 commitments, the team released a video to announce that Tate Myre would be an honorary member of the class.
Myre, a senior, was a linebacker on the Oxford team and received a scholarship offer to play at the next level.
“We are honored to recognize Tate Myre as the first Spartan Dog of the 2022 class,” Tucker said. “A Spartan Dog is defined not by the plays they make on the field, but by the character they exemplify, the leadership they bring to their team and community, and for extraordinary individuals like Tate Myre, their heroism.
“Tate is and always will be a Spartan Dog. He had an unmatched work ethic, athleticism, and love for his teammates. He had a passion to one day play for Michigan State.
“Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of Hana St. Juliana, Madisyn Baldwin, Justin Shilling and Tate Myre,” Tucker continued. “We will continue to support the Oxford community any way that we can.”
Myre was one of the four students who died in the shooting last month. Early reports indicated that Myre attempted to disarm the shooter during the attack.
The other three victims of the shooting were Hana St. Juliana, Madisyn Baldwin and Justin Shilling. Seven others suffered injuries in the attack, including a teacher.
