The Spartans picked up yet another preferred walk-on for the 2022 class on Monday, adding offensive tackle Jake Merritt out of Northville High School in Northville, Michigan.
Merritt is a solid prospect, ranked as a two-star on 247Sports, and fits the size that Mel Tucker covets to build up Michigan State’s roster. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds, Merritt is right in line with Tucker’s vision for the roster.
Michigan State is Merritt’s only power five offer, but his other offers include Marshall, Dayton and Brown, among others. Merritt joins offensive tackle Devin Runnels and punter Ryan Eckley as the Spartans’ latest PWO commitments.
