The news that Michigan State safety Jaden Mangham, who used the transfer site, will be visiting rival Michigan was shared on the social networking platform X. It was revealed by 247Sports. Matt Zenitz ignited a heated debate on the app that included the Mangham family, numerous Michigan State supporters, and former football players Tony Lippett, Felton Davis, and RJ Shelton. Mangham previously today pledged to attend Michigan.
A player from the rival Wolverines, who are visiting Michigan State this weekend, was part of a secret plan the Michigan State coaches were working on behind closed doors. demonstrating to everyone that visiting or transferring to a rival school following a transfer will grow more frequent in the present college football scene. like a free agent in the NFL signing with a division opponent after quitting their current team. Semaj Bridgeman, a four-star recruit who recently completed his true freshman year in Ann Arbor, is that guy, a freshman linebacker.
The next time anyone sees the former four-star prospect, Bridgeman will be wearing a Michigan State uniform and sprinting out of the tunnel in Spartan Stadium. Bridgeman did not see play during his first and only season wearing a Wolverine uniform. The 6-foot-2, 246-pound prospective redshirt freshman is listed as such. He attended Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, throughout his high school career. In the 247Sports and 247Sports Composite Rankings, he was rated as a four-star athlete, and he was the No. 302 player overall in the 2023 recruiting class.
Bridgeman has several applications for Michigan State. He could play rush end or linebacker on defense, which are the positions he spent his whole high school career in. He could even play tight end, another position he excelled at in high school, if they were to be inventive and switch him to the offensive side of the ball. Bridgeman’s committment is expected to generate a lot of conversation, so Spartan Tailgate will provide more coverage when it becomes available as well as on the Shaw Lane VIP Message Board.
