Michigan State lands 3-star IMG Academy tight end prospect Jake Renda for 2021 class

Jake Renda hasn’t played a game as a tight end yet, but that didn’t stop several Power Five programs, including Michigan State, from extending scholarship offers.

And for the former quarterback making the transition, the offer from the Spartans and coach Mel Tucker proved to be the right one as the 6-foot-5, 230-pound native of Princeton, N.J., announced on Saturday that he was committing to Michigan State.

"I really like the direction the program is heading," Renda told 247sports.
