At least 3 more Michigan State football players enter NCAA transfer portal

At least three more Spartans entered the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday. 

The newest portal entrees from Michigan State include offensive lineman Andy Hartman, kicker and Clarkston native Stephen Rusnak and defensive lineman Bai Jobe. 

Hartman didn’t see the field in either of his two seasons at Michigan State and announced his decision to leave East Lansing on the social-media site, X, formerly known as Twitter. He wrote, in part, that he was thankful for those who’ve been supportive of his journey thus far and is “open to all opportunities.”

Jobe and Rusnak also had minimal roles last season. Jobe, a former four-star prospect, appeared in only one game, making two tackles, in order to preserve his redshirt season. Rusnak, on the other hand, appeared in nine games and scored a combined eight points over his three seasons at Michigan State. 

The Spartans have seen around a dozen players take advantage of the spring portal window since it opened last week. The biggest roster hits of this portal cycle include defensive lineman Simeon Barrow Jr. and Derrick Harmon and running back Jalen Berger. 

Players have less than a week remaining to decide whether they want to explore the portal, with the deadline to enter it set for April 30.
