If you’ve somehow missed it, Jaden Mangham, a former Michigan State football safety who recently entered the transfer portal, has declared his intention to join the University of Michigan team. It’s quite the surprising turn of events, especially considering the rivalry between the two schools.
In the ever-dynamic world of college football, where shocking developments are par for the course, this announcement ranks among the most unexpected. While I respect players’ decisions to prioritize their own futures, this particular commitment leaves a sour taste, and I suspect I’m not alone in feeling this way.
The reactions from Michigan State fans have been abundant, spanning from Mangham’s visits to Michigan to the official announcement of his commitment. However, one aspect that hasn’t received much attention is the response from current Michigan State players.
While players typically keep their feelings under wraps, some Michigan State football players, as well as a staff member like Assistant AD Darien Harris, couldn’t resist sharing their thoughts after Mangham’s surprising decision.
This development adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming clash between Michigan State and Michigan on Oct. 26. The rivalry game already carries significant weight, but Mangham’s transfer has undoubtedly intensified the stakes.
