Michigan State football is in its second week of spring practice but has suffered a loss in the secondary.
Redshirt junior defensive back Caleb Coley has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, a program spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
While the spring transfer window runs from April 16 to 25, graduate transfers are eligible to enter at any time.
Coley, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 182 pounds, recorded five tackles—including one for a loss—across 10 career games with two starts for the Spartans. Injuries limited his playing time, and he logged just 25 defensive snaps over three seasons, according to Pro Football Focus.
A former three-star recruit from Georgia, Coley played in three games while redshirting as a freshman in 2022. He made one start in 2023 but missed the first nine games of last season due to injury. When he returned to start a second game, he was sidelined again by another injury, further depleting an already struggling secondary.
The Spartans finished 5-7 in Jonathan Smith’s first season as head coach and are set to conclude spring practice on April 19.
