Michigan State's Jayden Savoury has the ‘it’ factor

There hasn't been much hype around the Michigan State football program or a player from the program in some time. You have to go back to the Kenneth Walker III and Jayden Reed days to really see a player that had the "it” factor.

The Spartans are preparing to head to South Bend to face a top three ranked Notre Dame team. That is going to be a tough game no doubt. What one player that seems to be coming into his own is tight end Jayden Savoury.

A multi-sport athlete, who seemed to bleed basketball in his prep days, Savoury has quickly become a safety valve for Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic.

While recievers, Frederick Moore, Rodney Bullard, and most recently Charles Taplin have been the guys to catch touchdowns thus far for the Spartans. Savoury is out doing the dirty work.

In fact he's currently second in the Big Ten in receving yards. He had a break out performance in the season opener when he had three catches for 36 yards. That was nothing compared to what he did against Eastern Michigan. Savoury hauled in four catches for 63 yards — most of which started out as short gains, while showcasing his size and run after the catch ability.

There was going to be a lot of growth needed to be shown from the tight end room for the 2026 Spartans. Especially with a new staff. But the fact Brian Wozniak stayed on, and the work offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan has been putting in with players like Savoury has been impressive to say the least.

Jayden Savoury credits the coaches for his growth

Savoury talked about how much both coaches have helped him in his growth.

"I've been soaking everything in," Savoury said. " Sheridan and Coach Woz have helped me a lot."

His growth can continue, if he can start finding the end zone. If he can, he could become the best tight end, Michigan State has seen since Josiah Price.

It should be interesting to see where Savoury can continue to elevate his game.
