Michigan State’s Tom Izzo Gets Good Transfer Portal News.

Michigan State continues to compete for national titles under head coach Tom Izzo.

The Spartans reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament, having defeated Ole Miss, New Mexico and Bryant.

They ultimately suffered a loss to Auburn after entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 season and dominating the Big Ten throughout the season.

As Izzo and the staff rebuild their roster for another deep March Madness run, they received a major addition from the transfer portal.

According to Joe Tipton, former Samford guard Trey Fort has committed to Michigan State.

This past season at Samford, Fort averaged 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Fort committed to Michigan State as one of the top scorers available in the transfer portal.

His stop at Michigan State will be Fort’s fourth school in four years. Before playing one season at Samford, Fort spent one season at Mississippi State and one season at UT Martin.

Fort helps fill the void of a couple of departing players from Michigan State, including star freshman Jase Richardson and Tre Holloman.

This past season with the Spartans, Holloman averaged 9.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. After entering the transfer portal, leaving Izzo and his teammates after three years with the program, Holloman committed to NC State.

Richardson is heading to the 2025 NBA Draft. During his freshman season at Michigan State, the former blue-chip recruit averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
