Mark Dantonio was looking to add speed to his 2018 recruiting class and he did just that late in the process with three-star athlete Javez Alexander.
The Sandusky, Ohio, native was a dual-threat quarterback at the high school level and was No. 33 at that position in the class, per 247Sports, but Dantonio didn’t recruit him to command the offense under center, but rather add another explosive athlete to the receiving corps.
Michigan State had Cody White, Felton Davis III, Darrell Stewart Jr., Jalen Nailor, Laress Nelson and Cam Chambers, so his services weren’t quite needed in 2018, so he redshirted.
