Michigan State Football Recruiting news: Spartans add two preferred walk-ons, kicker Evan Johnson enters transfer portal

The Michigan State Spartans added to the program’s 2022 recruiting class on Wednesday after picking up two preferred walk-on commitments in offensive lineman Devin Runnels and punter Ryan Eckley.

Runnels is a massive offensive lineman, standing at 6-foot-7 and 335 pounds, according to his Twitter bio, and perfectly fits the size that Mel Tucker has been trying to commit to bringing into the roster. He’s listed as a two-star on 247Sports, and is the 105th-ranked player in Michigan out of Beecher High School in Flint.

Eckley is listed as a five-star punter, according to Kohl’s Kicking and should be a fitting replacement after current Spartan punter Bryce Barringer leaves after next season.
