Former Michigan State Spartans outside linebacker Devin Hightower is transferring to Cincinnati to reunite with defensive coordinator Mike Tressel. Hightower is a three star prospect that was apart of the Spartans 2020 class. Per Chad Brendel of BCJ, the transfer will be coming to Cincinnati as a walk-on.
The Akron, Ohio native attended Archbishop Hoban. He stands 5 foot 11 and weighs 225 pounds. This is another move in securing Ohio talent. He had offers from Indiana, Pittsburgh, Iowa and more before choosing Michigan State.
Hearing Cincinnati has landed a commitment from Michigan State transfer LB Devin Hightower. The former top 20 prospect in the state in the 2020 class will be joining the Cincinnati program as a walk-on. Relationship with new DC Mike Tressell was huge on this one. #Bearcats
