Michigan State recently offered a scholarship to one of the fastest rising sophomores in the Midwest, Ironton (Ohio) linebacker Reid Carrico.
Carrico has received offers from all around the country this spring, but the offer from the Spartans stands out to him.
"Michigan State is one of my favorites already and I haven't been on campus,” he said.
Part of that is because a lot of what Ironton football does mirrors what Michigan State football does. Head coach Trevon Pendelton was a four-year letterwinner for the Spartans and now going into his second season as Tigers head man, he molds his program off of Mark Dantonio’s.
