The Spartans offered a talented one on Monday.<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes help isn&#8217;t as far away as it seems.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-target-osu-wr-transfers\/\">Michigan State football<\/a> continues to round out its final roster for this upcoming season, filling the vacancy left by Keon Coleman is one of the top priorities.<\/p>\n<p>On May 1, the day after Coleman entered the portal, Michigan State didn&#8217;t waste any time sending an offer to in-state wide receiver Jahdae Walker. He has played the last two seasons at Division II GVSU. He&#8217;s considered one of the top DII prospects in the nation and has offers from some Power Five programs like Kentucky, Mississippi State, Texas A&amp;M, Colorado, Illinois, and Pitt.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State has the advantage of having him in its own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Walker has the one thing that you can&#8217;t teach in sports: size. The 6-foot-4 wideout has put together some impressive film in his time at Grand Valley. His stats aren&#8217;t eye-popping (30 rec, 625 yards, 6 touchdowns) but when you see the tape, you can see the potential.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">6\u20194 200 First Team All-Conference WR with 2 years of eligibility left \u203c\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lALmvCRmnH\">pic.twitter.com\/lALmvCRmnH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jahdae \u201calldae\u201d Walker (@dae2walker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dae2walker\/status\/1651321951359578112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It feels like this is one of those &#8220;elite potential&#8221; type of players that Power Five teams are starting to take notice of.
