Former five-star Tunmise Adeleye to transfer to Michigan State

Rivals' No. 7 ranked transfer prospect and former five-star defensive end Tunmise Adeleye will transfer to Michigan State, Adeleye's camp tells Rivals.

The relationship built with Michigan State pass rush specialist Brandon Jordan played a big role into the Spartans winning out as Jordan along with Mel Tucker's staff were able to quickly get Adeleye on campus and secure his commitment ahead of the spring semester.

Adeleye also took official visits to Miami and Cal last week after the pair of programs made the final four along with the Spartans and USC.

After redshirting his freshman season in 2021, Adeleye played in two games in 2022 for Texas A&M and recorded six tackles, including a season-high five tackles against Appalachian State.

A five-star prospect in the class of 2021, Adeleye was ranked as the No. 25 recruit in the country, according to Rivals. He was the No. 3 strongside defensive end in the country and the No. 7 recruit from the state of Texas. Prior to his commitment to Texas A&M, Adeleye was committed to Ohio State before re-opening his recruitment prior to his senior year.

Adeleye enrolled at the IMG Acedemy in Bradenton, Fla. for the spring semester in 2020, but returned home after the COVID-19 breakout. Adeleye did not play his senior season and finished his diploma online before enrolling at Texas A&M in the spring of 2021.

In two seasons as a starter at Tompkins, Adeleye recorded 109 tackles including 20 for loss and 12 sacks.
