Michigan State Football Lands Auburn RB Harold Joiner III from Transfer Portal
East Lansing, MI – Michigan State football didn't sign Audric Estime, its top running back commit, on Wednesday, so Mel Tucker went back to the drawing board.
Harold Joiner III, a transfer from Auburn, committed to MSU Thursday night via Twitter.
The 6-foot-4, 231-pound tailback entered the portal in October after receiving playing time in two games for the Tigers without a single carry.
Before picking Auburn, the former four-star recruit considered Michigan State a landing spot out of high school.
Joiner was considered the fifth-best player at his position nationally and No. 133 overall in the 2018 recruiting class.
In the past three seasons, he carried the ball 15 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns while adding six receptions for 128 yards and another score.
