Mark Dantonio’s presence was strong in Florida on Thursday as he extended an offer to four-star defensive end Zachary Carter from Tampa as well as four-star athlete Devan Barrett — also from Tampa.
Barrett is considered an athlete, but 247Sports lists him as a running back. The Spartans are likely not looking outside of the Midwest for a second running back in the class as three-star Weston Bridges from Ohio committed a week ago.
The two other top running back targets are Todd Sibley, a four-star OSU commit, and Lynn Bowden, a four-star recent Indiana de-commit.
