Michigan State picked up another prospect Wednesday, reaching out to California for a commitment from a speedy athlete.

The player is Jaelon Barbarin, a 3-star ATH out of Simi Valley, California. Barbarin also held offers from Washington State, Kansas State and UNLV among others and spent the past two weeks making visits to Washington State and MSU.

In the end, he went with Mel Tucker and the Spartans:

According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Barbarin is the No. 94 ATH nationally for the cycle. At 5-foot-9, Barbarin has been used both as a running back and as a receiver in high school and maintains some versatility at the next level.

It will be interesting to see how the Spartans deploy Barbarin in East Lansing. Here’s a glimpse at what he can do with the ball in his hands via Hudl:
