Michigan State makes 'Top 8' for four star 2023 defensive end Dylan Gooden

The Spartans made the 'Top 8' for Maryland based 2023 defensive end Dylan Gooden.

The football season may now be concluded for the Spartans but coaching is a 365 day a year job for coaches and the staff and as they prepare for next season, they are always recruiting.

Today the Spartans made the 'Top 8' for Our Lady Good Counsel (Olney MD.) four-star defensive end Dylan Gooden.

Gooden cut his offer list in half from 16 to eight as he continues to continue his recruiting process but the Spartans remain high on his priority list.

Gooden has excellent size listed at 6-foot-6 but is a little slim right now at just 205 pounds. He is athletic and that's shown in his highlights coming off of the edge.
