Mel Tucker went to Michigan State with a lofty goal in mind; revolutionize Michigan State’s recruiting. Well, he already picked up eight 4-star commits in the 2023 class. Although, none more significant than 4-star commit Bai Jobe. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Defensive End picked MSU over Alabama and Oklahoma. According to the 247 Composite Ratings, Jobe is the nation’s No. 64 player overall and the ninth-best edge rusher. Certainly, Jobe’s commitment will start a domino effect of other top recruits wanting to join him in East Lansing.
However, it is important to note that Jobe is still a raw prospect. Specifically, Jobe is originally from Africa and moved to the United States to pursue basketball. After realizing his skill set is best suited for football, Jobe transformed himself into one of the nation’s best prospects. He will continue to develop with the help of pass-rushing specialist Brandon Jordan. Jordan played a huge part in securing Jobe’s commitment, and jump starting Michigan State’s recruiting efforts.
