A Michigan State target in the 2023 recruiting cycle will be heading to a different MSU.
Three-star offensive lineman Joe Crocker announced on Monday that he’ll be committing to Mississippi State. Crocker picked the Bulldogs over his other two finalists: Michigan State and Wisconsin.
Crocker hails from Nashville and is ranked as the No. 39 offensive tackle in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2023 class. He is also ranked as the No. 483 overall prospect.
Crocker holds offers from 30 programs so it was great to see the Spartans be one of his finalists. Michigan State could be landing another higher-rated offensive tackle prospect in Payton Kirkland later this month, so not getting Crocker could be somewhat irrelevant if that occurs.
