Michigan State just added another in-state prospect to its next recruiting class.

Derrick Harmon, a 2021 three-star defensive tackle from Detroit Loyola High School, announced his commitment to the Spartans via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. He previously announced a top four of Michigan State, Purdue, Ole Miss and Memphis.

At 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, Harmon is listed as the No. 31 player in Michigan, No. 59 defensive tackle and No. 1,077 recruit overall in the 2021 class by 247Sports Composite rankings.

Harmon is the fourth player and third from the state to commit to Michigan State’s 2021 class and all four three-star recruits made their verbal pledge in a little more than a week. Oak Park running back Davion Primm became new coach Mel Tucker’s first verbal commit on April 7, East Lansing offensive tackle Ethan Boyd followed two days later and Gabe Nealy, a defensive back from Gulliver Prep in Miami, Fla., committed on Saturday.

All four commitments Michigan State landed so far came after the NCAA instituted a recruiting dead period through May 31 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Spring practice was also postponed indefinitely.
