Michigan State LB Devin Hightower Enters Transfer Portal

East Lansing, Mich. – Another Michigan State football player is interested in leaving the program.

Redshirt freshman linebacker Devin Hightower entered the transfer portal, a team spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.

The former three-star prospect out of Ohio signed with MSU's 2020 recruiting class and appeared on special teams in one contest last season.

Hightower is the 27th individual to enter the portal since November; however, coach Mel Tucker has used it to his advantage, landing 18 new players (15 on scholarship).

Four other linebackers found new schools this offseason, including Marcel Lewis (Central Michigan), Luke Fulton (Kentucky), Jeslord Boateng (Akron), and Charles Willekes (Arkansas State).
