Jaden Mangham trolls Michigan State during graduation ceremony

Just months after leaving Michigan State and transferring to Michigan, Jaden Mangham was back in East Lansing as a “Spartan”. The former Spartan graduated from Michigan State this past weekend (not sure why this was a thing) and trolled the Spartans in the process.

Of course he had to make himself known to everyone in attendance, putting his name and number in maize and blue on the top of his graduation cap. He was looking for some attention and he got it as the picture made its rounds on social media on Saturday and former players took notice.

Former players like Brian Lewerke were not pleased.

Nah this is insane https://t.co/agbSNZu4vH

As if this picture didn’t capture everyone’s attention (it did), he made sure to share a picture of his cap with his green and white gown while holding up the Michigan “M” with his hands.

Obviously his older brother Jalen leaned into the whole thing calling him a “SpartanDawg4Life” while sharing the picture on X. He has been incredibly vocal about being anti-Michigan State since Jaden transferred to Michigan because, well, obviously that move sparked some backlash from Spartan fans on social media. Any time a player transfers to his rival, it’s going to cause controversy and Jalen seemed to love it.

There’s been a lot more noise coming from Jalen and Jaden Mangham on social media than on the field this past season and it’s been rather exhausting but hopefully this is the last chapter of the two when it comes to Michigan State.

Mangham has finally graduated from Michigan State (for some reason) so there’s no reason to talk about him from this point forward. His promising future in a Michigan State uniform turned sour when he transferred to Michigan and didn’t play this season. Hopefully that ReliaQuest Bowl berth was worth it because his degree still says Michigan State University.
