Michigan State football recruiting: Fourth player decommits since Mel Tucker's firing
Four-star offensive lineman Andrew Dennis became the fourth Michigan State football recruit to decommit since head coach Mel Tucker was fired.
Dennis, the third-best prospect in Michigan in the 2024 class according to 247sports, announced his decision Monday on X, but said he was still considering the Spartans. He was the second-highest-rated recruit committed to MSU, behind four-star wide receiver Nick Marsh.
"After patiently monitoring the situation and many conversations with my parents and everyone who has supported me through this process, I have decided to decommit from MSU and reopen my recruitment," Dennis said in a statement.

Dennis joins three others in the decision to reopen their recruitment since Tucker was dismissed. Three-star cornerback Syair Torrence, four-star safety Reggie Powers and three-star cornerback Camren Campbell also have decommitted.
