Trey Creamer
Cartersville (Ga.) cornerback Trey Creamer, a three-star prospect, will be in East Lansing next weekend for his official Michigan State visit.
The 6-foot, 175-pounder is unranked as far as his position by Rivals.com but he has a solid list of close to 20 scholarship offers, including MSU, West Virginia, Louisville, Maryland, Minnesota and Kansas State. MSU defensive co-coordinator Harlon Barnett was in Georgia last weekend visiting Creamer and confirming his visit plans. The Spartans are viewed as a favorite for his services and a commitment shortly after his visit is a distinct possibility.
“Michigan State is my leader right now and I love all the coaches and how they communicate with me,” he told SpartanMag.com’s Patrick O’Brien. “Michigan State has a great education and the family type atmosphere that I’ve heard from players that visited the program.”
2018 Grand Rapids OL to visit MSU
Offensive line evaluation is always one of the critical aspects of recruiting. One player the MSU staff is taking a serious look at for the class of 2018 is Grand Rapids Catholic Central’s Jalen Mayfield. I was able to catch up with the 6-5, 250-pound prospect and get some details on his recruitment. Catholic Central is always a strong program that produces well-coached players. The Cougars are 3-0 with a game against Forest Hills Eastern Friday.
Mayfield already has multiple scholarships on the table and more will likely come as teams are able to evaluate him this fall.
“I have been offered by a Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Miami (Ohio) and Cincinnati. I am being recruited by Michigan State, Illinois, Kent State, UCF, Ball State. On Sept. 24, I am visiting Michigan State for their game against Wisconsin. I also just visited Western Michigan this past weekend,” Mayfield said.
Michigan State is keeping a close eye on Mayfield and he talked about his contact with the Spartans.
“I visited a couple weeks ago with my parents,” he said. “I keep in touch (offensive line) coach Mark Staten and (director of college advancement and performance) Curtis Blackwell. (Staten) said he likes that I am a coachable player and my frame right now is good for just a junior. I think Michigan State is a great program. They always get the most out of all of their players.”
Mayfield said the Spartans have requested that he make sure to provide them with his game film from this year. One of the aspects that will be working in his favor is that Mayfield has lined up and played both guard and tackle for Catholic Central. Staten definitely likes his linemen to be versatile.
