Former Michigan State football commit TJ Sheffield has decommitted and committed to UConn after a month. Michigan State football is expected to be active in the transfer portal. Sheffield, who had initially committed to MSU in December, has now agreed to join the Connecticut Huskies. In his five seasons at Purdue, Sheffield appeared in 45 games and registered 118 passes for over 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns, with most of his production in the last three seasons. He was a valuable asset for the Spartans due to his college football experience and expertise in returning punts.

By the Numbers

  • He returned 32 punts for 271 yards while at Purdue.
