It’s not often that a player transfers from the MAC to a Big Ten school; it’s normally the other way around. This time, though, it’s the former.
On his personal Twitter account Monday, Matt Seybert announced that he will be transferring into the Michigan State football program. The tight end went to the same Michigan high school that produced the plethora of Bullough brothers who have played for the Spartans.After long talks with my family and with God, I have decided to transfer to Michigan State University, GO GREEN! pic.twitter.com/5hMiJlnr7l

Seybert was a two-star member of Buffalo’s 2015 recruiting class. He did not take the field for the Bulls as a true freshman.
After sitting out the 2016 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules, Seybert will have three years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2017.
