Michigan State Basketball Eyes Transfer Guards for 2025-26 Season

East Lansing, Mich. – Speculation grows around Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo as he works to finalize his recruiting class via the transfer portal for the 2025-26 season. The Spartans currently face challenges in filling several guard positions, making recent reports about potential targets particularly intriguing.

One name on the Spartans’ radar is Vincent Brady, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard who has transferred from Missouri State. Brady’s high school basketball journey took place at Cathedral Prep in Indianapolis, a school familiar to Izzo. Prior to his time at Missouri State, he played for Indiana University-Indianapolis in the Horizon League, where he averaged 10 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists over two seasons.

In his single season with Missouri State, Brady improved his stats, notching an average of 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, along with a shooting percentage of 44.8% from the field and 38% from three-point range. With one year of eligibility remaining, he is viewed as a strong fit for the Spartans’ culture and needs, potentially stepping into a scoring role off the bench.

While there has been no official confirmation regarding mutual interest between Brady and the Spartans, the buzz among fans and on social media suggests he is a player worth watching as Michigan State evaluates its transfer options.

Another prospect drawing attention is Brit Harris, a 6-foot-4 combo guard from Gary, Indiana. His local ties could make him an appealing addition for MSU, given that he started his collegiate career at Grand Valley State before transferring to South Carolina Upstate. There, he averaged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists with impressive shooting percentages of 37.3% from beyond the arc and 63% at the rim, leading to a 57.1% effective field-goal percentage.

With Michigan State looking to fill two guard positions in their roster, the addition of Harris, who possesses the ability to score from various levels, appears to be a natural fit. His background in both Division II and Division I basketball gives him the competitive experience needed as the Spartans seek to enhance their lineup.

As Michigan State assesses its prospects in the transfer portal, Harris has received interest from multiple programs, including Oklahoma State, Iowa State, and Louisville, among others. Coach Izzo’s staff will have to navigate this competitive landscape, all while being mindful of their budget constraints for recruiting.

As the search continues, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates and further developments concerning Michigan State basketball and the potential additions to their roster.
