Michigan State Basketball News: Top MSU Recruit Trey McKenney Trains with Michigan State Legend Travis Walton

Michigan State basketball is ramping up its recruiting efforts, focusing on elite prospects for the 2025 class.

One of the standout targets is five-star guard Trey McKenney, who was recently spotted training with former Spartan Travis Walton in California. This connection could be beneficial for Michigan State as they look to strengthen their pitch to McKenney.

McKenney has been a primary target for head coach Tom Izzo, who has attended numerous games to scout him. The guard is set to visit Michigan State officially on October 4, which adds to the anticipation surrounding his recruitment.

Walton, who played for Michigan State from 2005 to 2009, was a key player during his time, earning accolades such as Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and contributing to the team’s run to the 2009 National Championship game.

His involvement in McKenney's training could provide valuable insights into the program and what it means to play at Michigan State and is still a big deal to anyone following the Spartans very closely.

While it's unclear if Izzo facilitated this workout, having a former player of Walton's caliber in McKenney's corner can only help the Spartans' chances.

As the recruitment process unfolds, this development adds a hopeful note for Michigan State fans eager to see Michigan State win this recruitment for the top-ranked player from Michigan.
