Michigan State beats out Michigan in local recruiting battle

Mel Tucker has notched his first major recruiting win over Jim Harbaugh and Michigan, after topping the Wolverines on the field earlier this season.

The Spartans on Monday landed 2021 four-star DT Rayshaun Benny from Oak Park, the sixth-ranked recruit in the state of Michigan, according to 247 Sports.


Benny, now the headliner of Michigan State's 2021 class, chose the Spartans over Michigan, Penn State and Kentucky. He also held offers from the likes of Ohio State, Notre Dame, LSU, Georgia and Auburn.

Tucker still has a long way to go on the recruiting trail, as you'd expect for a first-year head coach. Michigan State's incoming class ranks No. 47 in the country and No. 10 in the Big Ten, according to 247 Sports.

But landing Benny over several high-profile schools -- including their rivals next door -- is a good sign for the Spartans.
