One of Michigan State's last priorities for the 2016 recruiting period is fleshing out their tight end depth, and 3-star Springfield (IL) standout Albert Okwuegbunam may be just the ticket after receiving an offer from the program in June.
"I felt extremely blessed," Okwuegbunam said of the offer, via 247Sports. "Excited to evaluate them as a potential school for me to attend. I'm very interested in Michigan State for the immense success their program has had both on and of the field, as well as their new renovations."
Listed as the #25 tight end in the nation by 247Sports, Okwuegbunam lists Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota and Syracuse as fellow contenders for his pledge.
