Tunmise Adeleye, 4-star DL transfer out of Texas A&M, lands on MSU commitment

Tunmise Adeleye started his career as a member of Texas A&M’s 2021 recruiting class. Now, Adeleye is on his way to the B1G via a transfer to East Lansing.

With Early Signing Period kicking off, Adeleye announced his commitment to Michigan State via social media. Adeleye brings with him four years of eligibility.

Originally a 4-star prospect and the No. 39 overall prospect in the country for the class of 2021, the 247 Sports transfer portal rankings gave Adeleye a 4-star transfer rating. Though he saw limited action with the Aggies and recorded 6 tackles, he maintains the physical makeup to be an impact defender for the Spartans.

During his Wednesday press conference, head coach Mel Tucker praised Adeleye as a defender who comes in “ready to play.” With the defense a dark spot for the Spartans the last two seasons, we’ll see if Adeleye can help turn the unit around in 2023.
