The recruitment of four-star wide receiver Germie Bernard seemed to be over, as he signed his letter of intent with the Washington Huskies in the early signing period and was believed to be an early enrollee with the program.
However, after his position coach, Junior Adams, left the Washington program, Bernard was granted a release from his National Letter of Intent with the Huskies. Mel Tucker and Michigan State then swooped in late and landed the highly-touted pass catcher for the 2022 class, which is expected moved the Spartans’ class into the top-20.
