4. Relationship with current commits

A number of current Michigan State commits have been in Antjuan’s ear about committing to the Spartans. Guys like Cody White, Darien Clemons and even Mustafa Kaleefah even tried getting the hashtag “Simmons2MSU” to trend on Twitter a few weeks back.

It’s clear that the current pledges want him to be part of the class and that has to be a comforting feeling for the four-star linebacker from Ann Arbor. He has been in constant contact with some of the recruits who tweet at him and tell him he’d be a perfect addition to the class and he even looked to fit in pretty well in this picture of some of the commits:

There’s a reason he visited while still committed to Ohio State and he built relationships with some of the current pledges on that trip to East Lansing back in November. It might not seem like anything more than a picture, but you know that group of kids talked about playing together even though only a few of them will end up as Spartans.

Clemons seems like one of the strongest advocates for the “Simmons2MSU” campaign and he may soon get his wish. The two could potentially be linebacking mates.
