Michigan State has finally landed its first Oakland County recruit for the 2012 class in Southfield-Lathrup linebacker Jamal Lyles. Lyles is considered as the number 44 outside linebacker in the country according to Rivals and should step in nicely for the 2012 season and play aside other very talented linebackers that the Spartans have brought in during years past.
Lyles was highly sought after before committing to Michigan State, having received offers from Pittsburgh, Illinois, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Iowa and Stanford. Lyles measures out like an ideal linebacker would, standing at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds and was rated as a three start player by Rivals.
Last season as a junior, Lyles made 90 tackles, 11 coming for loss and recovered four fumbles. Lyles is the eighth verbal commitment for Michigan State’s 2012 class.
Kent State may have found themselves a hidden gem in Clarkston linebacker Matt Dellinger, who decided to play football at the next level rather than basketball. The 6-foot-2, 195 pound Dellinger may be a bit of a tweener in college, having the size and speed to play either linebacker or safety. Dellinger made 70 tackles and had five sacks for the Wolves last season.
