Illinois tight end Daniel Barker transfers to Michigan State

Michigan State is back to getting a transfer portal win for the second day in a row.

One day after landing coveted running back Jarek Broussard out of Colorado, Mel Tucker and company have nabbed tight end Daniel Barker from Illinois.

The former four-year Illini star announced his commitment to the Spartans on Twitter after visiting with a slew of transfer and high school prospects over the weekend.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound product leaves Illinois as the record-holder for tight end touchdowns, reeling in 11 touchdowns throughout his career.
