The competition for Michigan State’s football’s third wide receiver spot appears to be thinning out a bit as Germie Bernard has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Bernard — a high school teammate of MSU backup QB Katin Houser for two seasons in Henderson, Nevada —appeared in 12 games for the Spartans last season, catching seven passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns. His most productive game came against Ohio State on Oct. 8, when Bernard had three catches for 28 yards against the Buckeyes.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder made a quick impression in his first game, catching a 44-yard touchdown pass on his first snap on offense with the Spartans, outracing a Western Michigan defensive back on a hitch route on third-and-6 on MSU’s third possession of the game on Sept.
