Michigan State basketball signee Gabe Brown is a walking highlight reel and he threw down the dunk of the year on Tuesday night.

The future for Michigan State basketball is bright and even though the Spartans could potentially lose Miles Bridges and Jaren Jackson Jr. to the NBA after this season, the 2018 signees will pick up the slack.

We all know Bridges is the first player that comes to mind when you think of highlight dunks, but once he leaves town, someone is going to have to take over that role.

Michigan State is bringing in five solid recruits in Foster Loyer, Thomas Kithier, Aaron Henry, Marcus Bingham Jr. and Gabe Brown. The latter signee could bring some freakish athleticism to East Lansing that will be missed when Bridges leaves.

Don’t believe me? Check out what he did during his high school’s Tuesday night game:

Yes, that’s a between-the-legs dunk in the middle of a live game. That’s not something you see every day, but the 2018 signee was bold enough to pull it off.

Brown is known for being a solid athlete and he’s constantly working to improve his game, but I’m not sure anyone realized he has this type of bounce in his arsenal. At 6-foot-8.5 and 185 pounds, it’ll be nice to have that kind of athleticism driving the lane or the baseline from the wing. Tom Izzo is getting a good one here.

Take a bow, Gabe. This has to be a candidate for dunk of the year, no matter the level. The NBA Dunk Contest should take notes.
