Former Michigan State LB Devin Hightower Transfers to Cincinnati
East Lansing, Mich. – Devin Hightower transferred to a new school on Monday.
After entering the portal on May 18, the former Michigan State linebacker announced his commitment to Cincinnati via Instagram.
In doing so, Hightower joins former MSU defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Mike Tressel, who left following Mel Tucker's first year leading the program.
At 6-foot-1 and 225-pounds, the Ohio native signed with Michigan State's 2020 recruiting class and appeared in one contest on special teams last season.
The Spartans have had 27 players enter the portal since November and five linebackers, including Hightower.
