Each summer every program in the country loses a few players for one reason or another.  So if this kid wants to come, money will eventually be available.  Meanwhile YSUGO is doing the right thing by not revealing the identity of this player.

Did YSUGO tell PenguinPower? I know PenguinPower lives down south so I am a bit intrigued.

Excellent.  And it seems that he is versatile enough to play several positions, wherever our need is the greatest.

Looks like he might help.  Two years under Dantonio HAS to be a help to any defensive player.  Several of the HUDL highlights from his senior year at Harding were as safety as well as linebacker, so the flexibility isn't new.  Probably means too slow for MSU at safety and not big enough for a MSU LB, but could be good fit at 1AA level.  We could use a LB that has some coverage skills.  Good pick-up, if not the huge thing the weeks of lead up from YSUGO would have us all expecting.

Linebacker???? He's listed at 6-0, 195 lol. Would be a good addition to safety I think. Although we have Jameel Smith and Tre Moore back, Along with Shane Dixon who seemed to be primed for some playing time this year. But I will welcome anybody who has Big10 caliber.

What we had at safety last year (and cornerback too) got Wolford fired.  Let's not get too enamored with returnees that didn't get the job done.   It also makes little difference what they are listed at, but what they “are” and how they play.  Long way to go and maybe this kid can help.

Along with the lineman from Nebraska, Powell would be the second Pelini transfer who actually played in a Big Ten game.  Much better than taking big time program "mistakes" who never saw the field.

To add to your point . This kid is the real deal.  Came home for good reasons not bad ones.  He will also be versitile.  Excellent  addition  to the defense. He may also be able to help on offense.  Heard he had a high ceiling  and was projected to start.

Greats point Power. This is also a win for Jalyn, as he will certainly get the recognition here that he wants.

Saw action in 9 games, made 5 tackles as a backup. Let's not this make this kid out to be the second coming of Charles Woodson. Trust me, I'm excited to have him but let's keep our expectations in check here.
