Hank Pepper, a long snapper out of Arizona, signed with MSU and was committed to San Diego State before flipping to the Spartans.

Michigan State now has 18 student-athletes signed for 2021; however, three others, including Audric Estime, Rayshaun Benny, and Geno VanDeMark, have yet to submit their letters of intent.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound LS is listed as the second-best recruit at his position by Kohl's Professional Camps.

Additionally, he played linebacker in high school totaling 108 tackles (eight for a loss), three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three sacks this year.

His team finished undefeated, winning its fifth consecutive state championship.
