Mel Tucker’s work in adding to Michigan State’s roster through the transfer portal continues.
As the Spartans were set to hit the field for their first scrimmage of the spring, they gained a commitment from wide receiver Christian Fitzpatrick, a Southfield native who appeared in one game last season for the Cardinals.
At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Fitzpatrick adds a big body to a wide receiver room full of promising players, including Jayden Reed, Jalen Nailor and Tre Mosley. As part of the 2020 recruiting class, Fitzpatrick was a three-star prospect and has four years of eligibility remaining.
