A former Michigan State Spartan, defensive back Malcolm Jones has found a new home.
Michigan State and Coach Jonathan Smith lost many talented players to the transfer portal earlier this offseason. The number of players leaving the Spartans program at once was arguably the most significant hurdle Coach Smith and his coaching staff faced early in their tenures in East Lansing.
The Spartans lost players with various talent levels, including defensive back Malcolm Jones. The defensive back appeared in eight games for the Spartans last season as a redshirt freshman and 11 games in his two seasons with the team. Jones mainly played on special teams, registering six tackles in 11 games. He has three years of eligibility left.
According to 247Sports, Jones was one of the best players from Georgia in the 2022 recruiting class, as he was ranked the 57th-best player in the state. While Jones only played sparingly at Michigan State, he was a talented player the Spartans likely could have used this upcoming season in Smith’s first season as head coach.
