Michigan State Makes Top-13 for Three-Star CB James Monds III
East Lansing, MI – Mel Tucker and the Michigan State football coaching staff have been hitting the recruiting trail hard since the season ended and have made another student-athlete interested in the Spartans.
James Monds III, a 2022 three-star cornerback out of Fort Pierce Westwood High School, announced his top-13 schools, and MSU made it.
The other 12 universities include Kansas State, Clemson, Nebraska, Mississippi State, Penn State, Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Miami, Indiana, Cincinnati, and Howard.
The 5-foot-10, 177-pound defensive back is a top-75 recruit in Florida and the No. 58 prospect at his position for '22.
In 2019, Monds finished the year with 10 pass break-ups, three forced fumbles, and five interceptions.
Spartan Nation spoke with Monds in October, where he raved about Tucker and his staff.
"Coach Tucker and Coach Barnett and Coach Tressel are doing a great job recruiting me, and showing me what they have to offer, and I feel like it has a big impact."
