MSU Football Adds 4 More PWOs on Signing Day
On Wednesday, National Signing Day saw the second and final wave of high school recruits signing with new schools. Michigan State did most of their work in December during the Early Signing Period, but has added several preferred walk-ons in February.
After the Spartans added a trio of walk-ons the day before signing day, MSU added several more to their roster on Wednesday. Michigan State continues to rebuild its defensive line, and added a quality walk-on in Novi (Mich.) Catholic Central defensive lineman Stone Chaney. A three-star recruit, Chaney held FBS offers from Toledo, Army and Navy but turned down those scholarship opportunities to be a Spartan. During his senior season, Chaney had 11 sacks for Catholic Central and earned a MHSFCA first team All-State selection. At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, he has the build of a Division I player and played against some of the best competition in Michigan.
Continuing with the defensive line, the Spartans also added Fenton (Mich.) defensive end Chris Piwowarczyk. Holding a PWO offer from MSU since January, he finally made it official on signing day. The 6-foot-2, 224-pound defensive end was named first team All-State by the Detroit Free Press and was an All-Conference player in the Flint Metro League.
On the offensive side of the ball, Michigan State picked up Onstead (Mich.) Lenawee Christian tight end Easton Boggs. At 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, he was a walking mismatch in 8-man football helping Lenawee Christian win a state title this past season. Boggs was a MHSFCA first team All-State selection for 8-man football and is an intriguing player to watch as he transitions to 11-man football.
The Spartans also went out of state, picking up St. Louis (Missouri) Country Day linebacker Carter Enyard. Once a Kent State commit, Enyard chose to walk-on for the Spartans in December, and signed this past week. The 6-foot-2, 215 pound linebacker was MFCA first team All-State in Missouri, finishing his senior season with 20 tackles for loss and 10 sacks.
Most walk-ons grew up fans of the school and represent the program well because it’s their dream to play at Michigan State. With a new staff and a rebuilding roster, these players may find a way to play a key role in this program. Whether it be in practice, special teams, or reps on their side of the ball, they can impact the program in a positive way.
