Michigan State WR Ricky White — hero of 2020 win at Michigan — enters transfer portal

One of Michigan State football’s promising young players has begun the process of leaving the program.

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Ricky White, who did not play this season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

White’s status with the team was never disclosed by head coach Mel Tucker, but the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Marietta, Ga., product remained on the roster. Back in August, Tucker said White was not participating in team activities.

A former three-star recruit, White burst on the scene in 2020 when he helped the Spartans pull off a shocking 27-24 upset over Michigan.
