There is a great deal of speculation about and interest in how Michigan State coach Tom Izzo is going to round out the transfer portal class heading into the 2025-26 season. The Spartans added Kaleb Glenn, but the departure of Tre Holloman to NC State leaves them with several guard holes to fill.
A new prospect has reportedly emerged on the Spartans’ recruiting board: Missouri State shooting guard transfer Vincent Brady.
Brady, a 6-foot-4 guard, played high school basketball at Cathedral Prep in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a school Izzo is very familiar with. Brady also played prep ball at the Air Force Prep academy in Colorado, showing the character the player has.
Prior to playing at Missouri State, Brady spent two years at Indiana University-Indianapolis of the Horizon League. In his two years at IU-Indy, he averaged 10 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists. In his one season at Missouri State, he averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists on a 44.8 field-goal percentage and 38% shooting from 3-point range. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
Brady would be a strong fit with the Spartans. He is a high-character individual that would fit tremendously in MSU’s culture. He also possesses the skill set needed to step into the shooting guard role at MSU, most likely as a scorer off the bench, providing a spark when needed.
As the Spartan coaching staff normally does, information is being held very close to the vest. There is no confirmation of mutual interest or if the Spartans are pursuing at all. Rumblings within the fan base and social media indicate his is a name worth monitoring.
Stay tuned for any further portal developments with Michigan State basketball.
