I have interesting information on the Defensive Linemen for Michigan State.  Note: Rivals uses a 1-5 star rating basis and also rates players up to a 6.1 rating.

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

Future:  MSU does not have any commits out of a DT and only one commit right now at DE for 2009 class.   2009 commit is Strongside DE Dan France North Royalton, OH (North Royalton), *** star, 5.7/6.1 rivals ranking, #21 Strongside DE, #21 player overall in Ohio for '09.  Selected MSU over NC ST,NW, PUR, STAN, VANDY, IA, and IND.

     But the future looks bright for 2010.  Junior Strongside DE William Gholston is a monster from Detroit Southeastern.  I have not seen a defensive highlight film like his since Lamar Woodly, Robaire Smith, and Nick Perry's.  MSU is considered the lead for his services, he is a top 250 recruit and will be a **** star recruit also.  Look for him to be in the top 3 for the state of Michigan for class 2010, he might crack a ***** star, which would not surprise me.  This kid is the real deal!!  Gholson's teammate Johnathon Hankins at DT is a player I hope MSU receives a verbal from as well as Strongside DE Tremondae Branch from Flint Carman-Ainsworth is also worth watching also.  Also is Top Jr in Ego Ferguson,  Frederick, MD (St. Johns Catholic).  Will garner pre-season top 250 overall honors.  Has offers from MSU, TENN, OK ST, GA, MD, CLEM, ILL,NE, NC, BC, SC, DUKE, UCON, FSU and VANDY.
