Four-star Oak Park lineman Rayshaun Benny commits to Michigan State

Rayshaun Benny, a two-way lineman from Oak Park, verbally committed to Michigan State on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Benny chose the Spartans among a final four that included Michigan, Penn State and Kentucky.

Benny was the top uncommitted football player in the state's 2021 class, checking in at No. 6 in Michigan, according to the 247Sports composite, No. 15 nationally at defensive tackle, and No. 188 regardless of position.

He is No. 5 in The Detroit News' top 20 players for the 2020 high school season.

Benny becomes the highest-ranked player so far in Michigan State's 17-member 2021 class, which lost a commitment from three-star safety Jah'Von Grigsby over the weekend, and its second four-star recruit, joining New Jersey guard Geno VanDeMark.
