Jonathan Smith is no stranger to the transfer portal by now. While the first-year Michigan State football<\/a> coach has lost dozens of players to the portal since he’s taken over in East Lansing, he’s also landed a dozen players.<\/p>\n Smith has done a solid job of addressing positions of need in the portal like cornerback, running backs, the offensive line, and the defensive line and he’s now targeting receivers. Arguably the biggest area of need on offense with the current roster is receiver with Montorie Foster returning as the top target from last year’s team.<\/p>\n Michigan State has already reached out to the No. 4 available wide receiver in the portal in Auburn’s Ja’Varrius Johnson<\/a> and the Spartans made his trimmed list and now they’re reportedly targeting the No. 1 transfer wideout, Elijhah Badger.<\/p>\n According to Hayes Fawcett, Michigan State is one of 20 schools to reach out to the portal’s top available receiver.<\/p>\n Former Arizona State WR Elijhah Badger has heard from these 2\ufe0f\u20e30\ufe0f\u20e3 Schools since entering the Transfer Portal, he tells @on3sports<\/a><\/p>\n The 6\u20192 190 WR totaled 142 receptions for 1,640 Yards, & 10 TDs in his time at ASU<\/p>\n Is the Top Available WR in the Portal (per On3 Industry)\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Q5FEMBioxT<\/a><\/p>\n — Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) May 4, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
