Michigan State football’s recruiting reach continues to grow under Mel Tucker.

The Spartans landed a commitment Friday from defensive back Jah’von Grigsby (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) for 2021.

The 5-foot-10, 182-pound safety is a three-star recruit according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. Grigsby told 247Sports.com it was his “gut feeling” to choose MSU over Vanderbilt and Purdue. He also had offers from Indiana, Auburn, Kansas, Miami, Houston and others.
