Allen’s speed and athleticism at the linebacker position make him a scary matchup for opposing coaches. Denicos has used that speed to rack up 14 total sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss in his last two seasons.

“He has definitely opened my eyes and a lot of eyes,” Josh Helmholdt, rivals.com Midwest recruiting analyst, said of Sokol, who verbally committed to Michigan State on Monday. “He’s raw, but he’s probably just scratching the surface of what he can do (at tight end). He has sky-high potential.”

It wouldn't be a recruiting trip to Georgia without a look at some defensive backs, particularly if you're Michigan State and your best happens to hail from the Peach State. There's no guarantee that Class of 2014 prep star Quay Searcy will be the next Darqueze Dennard (Dry Branch, Ga., Twiggs County), but the Spartans coaching staff felt strong enough about him that they offered him a scholarship last Tuesday according to the 247 sports website.

Sokol was offered less than two weeks ago. Part of the reason his recruitment has been slow to develop is that he plays quarterback in high school, and it's likely going to happen as a senior, so he's listed as an "athlete." But he's a big, athletic kid, and tight end is his future.

The schedule is pretty kind to a Michigan State program coming off a disappointing 7-6 season that saw MSU lose five games by a combined 13 points. If the Spartans can win at Notre Dame on Sept. 21, they could be 8-0 when they welcome Michigan on Nov. 2.

The second-round restricted free agent tender has turned into a kiss of death for quarterback Brian Hoyer. He got one from the Patriots in 2012 and then wound up getting cut by the team before the start of the season. Hoyer bounced from the Steelers to the Cardinals, who gave him the same second-round tender as a restricted free agent this year. And now he’s looking for work again. Adam Caplan of TheSidelineView.com reports that the Cardinals have placed Hoyer on waivers.

You can call Class of 2014 prospect Will Dawkins an "athlete" or a "receiver,'' but Michigan State just wants the opportunity to keep calling and recruiting him. Dawkins, a 5-foot-11, 195-pounder out of Vero Beach (Fla.) High School is considering the Spartans' scholarship offer along with about a dozen others.

When former Pittsburgh Panther defensive back Andrew Taglianetti got invited to his hometown NFL team's rookie minicamp, he was living the dream. Following the camp, Pittsburgh sports radio station 93.7 The Fan asked Taglianetti, "Who was the biggest athletic freak you saw on the field?" His answer: Former Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell. "I'll tell you what, Le'Veon Bell," Taglianetti said with no hesitation. "He's probably 230, 240 (pounds), I'm not sure about his weight, but he is really, really quick."

The illustrations are public, the final approval is next and then comes the actual construction. By May 2014, Michigan State should have completed a $20-million Spartan Stadium renovation, to be spruced up during the summer and unveiled for the 2014 season.

Michigan State has two players on its spring roster who come from further west than Minneapolis; offensive lineman Fou Fonoti (Lakewood, Calif.) and defensive tackle David Fennell (Portland, Ore.). But the Spartans, riding a school-record string of six consecutive bowls, have taken a step forward in national image and are looking to cash in on the recruiting trail. Jeffery Farrar, a receiver/athlete from Upland, Calif., received a scholarship offer from Michigan State on Monday and has the Spartans on his radar.

Considering the experiment taking place at Michigan State where coach Mark Dantonio is attempting to see if he can turn a redshirt freshman linebacker into a tailback for the upcoming season, the Spartans are in a decidedly resourceful mode. So perhaps it's not so surprising Michigan State has jumped on Dacorius Law, an otherwise under-the-radar recruit tabbed "The Lab Rat" by Florida website Bigcountypreps.com.
