The march to the transfer portal continues at Michigan State.
On Thursday night, a program spokesman confirmed sophomore defensive back Julian Barnett had entered the portal, becoming the fifth Spartan to enter the portal since the beginning of the season.
Barnett would qualify as the most notable player to enter the portal, a former four-star recruit from Belleville who was rated one of the top cornerbacks in the nation in the 2019 class. As a freshman, Barnett appeared in all 13 games as a wide receiver for Mark Dantonio’s team before shifting back to defense once Mel Tucker took over.
