CBS DETROIT - Four-star defensive end Josh King has committed to Michigan State, he announced Friday. King had announced in May that his top five schools were Michigan State, Michigan, Penn State, USC and Notre Dame.
King's high school posted on Twitter a photo of him making the announcement Friday morning, and the player tweeted out the news a few minutes later.
