4. Jaden Mangham, DB

Last up is defensive back Jaden Mangham, who entered the portal late Tuesday night just after his brother. This move wasn't all that surprising after his brother entered the portal, but other than that this decision came out of nowhere.

Mangham was in line to be a sure fire starter this season. Last year he snagged four interceptions and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection. He would have been the leader on the secondary and could've gone down as someone who helped turn the tide in the program.

Now he has decided to jump ship likely chasing more money elsewhere. It's frustrating that this is where the state of college football is, bur unfortunately that's the reality of college athletics today.

Thankfully for Michigan State however, they did earn the commitment from Woods on Tuesday as well. So he very well could slide right in as Mangham's replacement. However, it would've been very nice to pair both players together in the starting secondary, so it's unfortunate that we won't get to see that happen.
