It looks like Gabe Sherrod is headed to the Big Ten.

Sherrod, a graduate transfer defensive end from FCS Delaware State, announced Tuesday that he has committed to Michigan State. Sherrod previously committed to Syracuse, but that agreement changed under unusual circumstances last month.

Nothing more to say!!

Sherrod, who totaled 64 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and eight sacks as a redshirt junior in 2015, verbally committed to play his final season of college football at Syracuse back in February. That changed in June when Scout.com reported that the two sides “parted ways.” Sherrod said he learned that he wouldn’t be attending Syracuse when he saw the report from Scout on Twitter.

Soon after, Sherrod told Syracuse.com in June, he heard from a Cuse staff member, who confirmed that the coaching staff was moving in a different direction. In what seemed to be a related move, the Orange accepted a commitment from former Colorado defensive end DeJon Wilson, another graduate transfer, earlier in the day.

Now Sherrod has the chance to make on the defense of the reigning Big Ten champions. He is the second graduate transfer defensive lineman the Spartans have added this offseason. Former Nebraska defensive tackle Kevin Williams joined the program in May. Williams, a sixth-year senior (he missed two seasons with knee injuries), totaled 27 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and three sacks in 23 games at Nebraska.

MSU has seen quite a bit of shuffling on its defensive line depth chart this offseason. Sophomores Craig Evans and Montez Sweat left the program in April while Damon Knox opted not to pursue a sixth season, instead choosing to pursue a career in law enforcement.

The Spartans open up their season with a home game against FCS Furman on Sept. 2. Two weeks later (MSU has a Week 2 bye), Mark Dantonio’s squad will travel to South Bend for a showdown against Notre Dame on Sept. 17.
