Michigan State Football Lands 3-Star WDE Alex Okelo

The Spartans land three-star defensive end Alex Okelo out of Nashville, Tennessee.

Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Spartans land their 12th commit for the class of 2021 after two prospects decommitted and went elsewhere.

Three-star defensive end Alex Okelo out of Nashville, Tennessee, announced he found a "New Home" via Twitter with a picture headlined "East Lansing's Newest Spartan Dawg."

Okelo has risen through the ranks quickly for a prospect who has only been playing football for a short time – joining his high school squad during his junior year.

According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, he is a top-30 recruit in his home state and the No. 56 WDE for 2021.

He held offers from Florida State, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ole Miss, and Tennessee before choosing the Spartans.

Michigan State's '21 recruiting class is ranked 68th in the country and 13th in the conference with an average rating of 0.8510.
