Michigan State names Oxford's Tate Myre an honorary Spartan Dawg in 2022 recruiting class

Michigan State football named Tate Myre — a star athlete killed in the shooting at Oxford High School on Nov. 30 — an honorary member of its 2022 recruiting class on Wednesday, the first day of college football's early signing period.

"We are honored to recognize Tate Myre as the first Spartan Dawg of the 2022 class," coach Mel Tucker said in a video.
