Former Michigan State football defensive end Bai Jobe commits to Kansas in transfer portal
Another former Spartan has found a new home in the transfer portal.
Former Michigan State edge rusher Bai Jobe has transferred to Kansas, according to a social media post from his trainer Sean Cooper. Jobe has four years of eligibility remaining after he redshirted as a freshman at MSU in 2023.
Jobe appeared in just one game for Michigan State as a true freshman, making a pair of tackles in the nonconference loss to Washington before sitting out the rest of the season to preserve his redshirt status. The 6-foot-4, 252-pound Jobe had two tackles in 11 snaps in his lone appearance.

Jobe was Michigan State’s highest-rated recruit in the 2023 class, the final recruiting class assembled by former head coach Mel Tucker. Jobe was the top recruit in the state of Oklahoma, the No. 9 edge rusher and the 54th-best player in the 2023 class, according to 247 Sports’ composite rankings. Jobe, a native of Senegal, originally committed to Michigan State over Alabama and Oklahoma.
Jobe and fellow four-star defensive lineman Andrew Depaepe, the two highest-rated recruits in 2023, both entered the portal as MSU’s transfer departures since the end of the 2023 season climbed over a dozen. Jalen Thompson was the freshman pass rusher who saw the most action in 2023 and received second-team reps in the Spring Showcase earlier in April. Two other four-star 2023 recruits, quarterback Sam Leavitt (now at Arizona State) and former junior college offensive lineman Keyshawn Blackstock (now at Arkansas), also have left the Spartans.
Meanwhile, veteran defensive linemen Simeon Barrow and Derrick Harmon both announced they would be officially leaving the Spartans, with Harmon heading to Oregon and Barrow going to Miami (Florida).

2025 four-star OL Michael Carroll includes Michigan in top 4
We’ve seen the Michigan Wolverines prioritize smash football and target talented offensive line in Sherrone Moore’s first off-season as head coach, and a top target for Michigan just included the reigning National Champs in his top 4.
On Saturday afternoon, On3 National recruiting expert Hayes Fawcett reported that Michigan was in the top 4 for four-star 2025 offensive linemen Michael Carroll, along with Penn State, Georgia and Alabama.
On the 247 Composite, Carroll, a native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is ranked just outside the top 200 in the 2025 class, along with 11th among interior offensive linemen and eighth among recruits from his home state.
Carroll made an impromptu visit to Michigan this past Fall the day after the Michigan State win, and he got the chance to meet head coach Sherrone Moore and offensive line coach Grant Newsome in a recent spring visit. If the four-star linemen were to commit to Michigan, he’d be the second O-Line commit in the class, joining four-star in-state OL Avery Gach.
Carroll’s interest in Michigan is not a surprise, considering the Wolverines have garnered a reputation as being a place for young offensive linemen to develop into NFL players, all while dominating in the trenches en route to a ton of success over the last three seasons.
“They were completely dominant,” Carroll said about Michigan after that visit. “They were extremely explosive and powerful out of their stances. When I was at Michigan’s camp, that’s one thing coach Moore taught me. Seeing them do it was special. I could see myself fitting in there as a guard.”
Carroll said an interview with The Wolverine last month ($) that Michigan is “up there with Alabama, Georgia and a couple of others right now.” There’s not a clear timeline for when he’ll make a decision, but we’ll keep you updated as his recruitment continues.
