Smith Announces MSU's Scout Team Players of the Week for UCLA

Redshirt freshman Ryland Jessee gets recognized for his work on the scout team for the first time this year. He has not appeared in a game as a Spartan yet.

As a recruit from San Diego, California, Jesse was a consensus three-star prospect. He joined Jonathan Smith's original recruiting class at MSU over offers from San Diego State, Nevada, and Utah State.

DL Cal Thrush

True freshman defensive lineman Cal Thrush makes the list for the second time this year and the first time since Week 1.

Thrush was a consensus three-star recruit who also had offers from Cincinnati and many different Group of Five schools.

DB Deuce Edwards

Deuce Edwards, another true freshman, also gets Scout Team Player of the Week honors for the second time this year, the first being in Week 2.

As a recruit, Edwards also had offers from West Virginia, Penn State, Michigan, Oklahoma, and other Power Four programs.

LB DeJae White

True freshman linebacker DeJae White makes this list for the first time this year.

A native of Pontiac, Michigan, On3 and 247Sports had him as a four-star recruit coming out of Orchard Lake St. Mary's and as one of the top 10 best players in the state of Michigan for his class.

OL Rashawn Rogers

True freshman Rashawn Rogers is another first-time honoree. He signed on with the team as a preferred walk-on.

Rogers might be one to keep an eye on in the future. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, he definitely has the size to play at the Power Four level.
