Michigan State lands transfer running back Jalen Berger from Wisconsin

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Michigan State has landed a potentially impactful running back in the transfer portal.

Following the previous year’s acquisition of Kenneth Walker III — who went on to have a Heisman Trophy-like campaign in 2021 — the Spartans have made another splash in the transfer portal by picking up a commitment from redshirt freshman Jalen Berger, a running back who previously played for Wisconsin.

Berger, a former four-star recruit out of New Jersey in high school, has committed to the Spartans after departing from Wisconsin in October.
