They made a move in his recruitment and seemed to leapfrog Boston College which is where his father, Matt Hasselbeck, played football before ultimately starring in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really cool to see yet another famous athlete\u2019s son attend Michigan State as Antonio Gates\u2019 son plays for the Spartans and Barry Sanders\u2019 son plays for Tom Izzo.<\/p>\n<p>Hasselbeck was looking to play lacrosse in college but announced on Friday that he would no longer be pursuing that sport and was just focusing on football at the next level. That was the big news of the afternoon and at that point, everyone felt like his commitment to Michigan State football was inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s the latest quarterback to commit to Michigan State, joining a room that will have Noah Kim, Katin Houser, and Sam Leavitt next year. That\u2019s a really solid room and probably the best it\u2019s been in years. When was the last time the quarterback room was this good? It\u2019s been quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>This also marks the seventh commitment for Michigan State in the month of June. He joins a class that was knocking on the door of the top 50 nationally before this commitment. Hasselbeck could also be the first of two straight pledges as Justin Denson is announcing his commitment on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Will his future receiver join him on July 7? Let\u2019s hope Nick Marsh sees this and follows suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Really solid win for Mel Tucker and Co.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[432,191,189],"class_list":["post-5390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-henry-hasselbeck","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
