Michigan State football WR Jayden Reed returning for senior year in 2022

Jayden Reed will stick with Payton Thorne for one more year.

Michigan State football’s top wide receiver announced Tuesday he plans to return for his senior season, a day after teammate Jalen Nailor declared for the NFL draft.

“Since I was a child, I’ve dreamed of playing in the NFL and I am one step closer to my goal,” Reed wrote in a statement. “After long talks with God, my family, coaches and friends, I’ve come to a final decision to return to Michigan State and use my last year of eligibility.
