Is Michigan State transfer eyeing Ole Miss?

Two former Michigan State football players announced their intentions to transfer away from the program this weekend. Sophomore safety Kenney Lyke was one of them, telling ESPN on Saturday that he planned to join Mississippi Delta Community College this season in order to eventually land at an SEC school.

“Very high on Ole Miss,” Lyke said.

Lyke told ESPN that he is leaving the Spartans because he came up one credit shy of his required course load this spring.

Lyke played in three games as a freshman last season.

He was a consensus three-star prospect who played his high school football in Illinois.
