Kaleb Glenn, the Cardinals' former four-star commit, transferred yet again. The former Cardinal will now play for Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. Glenn was a unanimous 4-star prospect out of Indiana, attending La Lumiere School.

Glenn was a local hometown kid. He grew up in Louisville, Ky., before moving to La Porte, Ind. The highly recruited high school prospect was ranked as high as the No. 64 player in the nation by ESPN after nearly shooting 50/40/90 in his senior year. Glenn averaged 15.2 points and 9.1 rebounds as a senior and shot an impressive 54% from the floor and 39% from the 3-point line.

The Cardinals received the commitment from Glenn back in November 2022. Now, Glenn will turn to his third team as he will officially transfer from FAU to Michigan State.

With the Cardinals, the former 4-star commit averaged just 3.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 48.6% from the field. He scored 10 or more points in four games, including his season-high 17-point performance against Pitt. Glenn secured two games with 15 points, with one being a double-double performance against Georgia Tech as the local hometown forward secured 15 points and 13 rebounds in the rare Cardinals win that season.

The 6-foot-7 small forward would enter the transfer portal after Cardinals went 8-24 in his true freshman season. Glenn would then commit to the Florida Atlantic Owls, where he led the Owls in scoring with 12.6 points per game. He also added 4.8 rebounds per game, shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 41 percent from downtown.

Now Glenn will join the Big 10 powerhouse program and Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. While playing some minutes in the paint, Izzo is getting a physical forward who can knock down jumpers. He is a solid two-way player who can come off the bench for Izzo and help bring the Spartans back to the NCAA Tournament.

Michigan State finished first in the Big 10 last season, as the Spartans went 30-7 in the regular season, 17-3 in the Big 10 and secured a No. 2 seed in the Big Dance. The Spartans went to the Elite Eight until they fell short to the Auburn Tigers, 70-64.
