Back-to-back champion Georgia ‘didn’t provide the same energy as Michigan State

When Michigan State freshman wide receiver Nick Marsh decided where to play his freshman year of college football, he had plenty of options from some very successful schools.

Marsh had verbally committed to Michigan State before Mel Tucker, the team’s former head coach, was fired. As with all recruits who committed prior to the fire, questions were asked about Marsh’s commitment to the Spartans.

Georgia, then the reigning college football national champions, had contacted Marsh last season. But the young wideout would ultimately choose to remain committed to Michigan State, signing with the Spartans last December.

When Marsh and his mother, Yolanda Wilson (aka MamaTron), recently appeared on “The Spiro Avenue Show,” Marsh discussed his thoughts on choosing Michigan State over the Bulldogs.

“To be honest, I was ready to jump at (the opportunity to play for Georgia),” Marsh said. “I was like, let me connect with the coaches, let’s build this relationship. Georgia is a big school, so that was definitely an option for me. And I wanted to connect a little more, but that just wasn’t happening. ” ‘It doesn’t give the same energy as State. So that point never passed.”

Wilson praised Michigan State’s energy, saying it has been palpable since “Day 1.”

“We have to shout out to the entire fan base. It doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “I don’t think there will ever be anything to compare it to. The love alone that shapes them – this whole process from high school to college is so hard, and what people don’t see is the behind the scenes, the decision-making process , the phone calls, the other school visits, and I thank the entire Michigan State fanbase because they still supported us during that time for Nick, and it’s always been that way, even during visits, everyone knows everyone. And we’re from River Rouge, a close-knit community, and Nick wanted to be somewhere that is exactly that, and that’s what Michigan State is to us: that close-knit community I can call or I can Go there, I know he’s doing well And so think I also about all the other boys.’
