Michigan State football loses former starter and top reserve to NCAA transfer portal

The exodus that gripped Michigan State football last fall has resumed.

A day after freshman defensive end Alex Okelo entered the NCAA transfer portal, cornerback Kalon Gervin and linebacker Chase Kline followed him into college football's open marketplace.

Gervin, a redshirt junior from Detroit Cass Tech, started two games and played 149 snaps on defense and special teams while contributing 14 tackles this season. But, according to Pro Football Focus, he wasn't used on defense Saturday in a 23-20 overtime victory over Nebraska.

Kline, a redshirt junior from Chardon, Ohio, appeared in all four games this season as a reserve and contributed two tackles and half a sack in the win over the Cornhuskers.
