Northwestern and Notre Dame were at the top of Matt Alviti’s list for months but there is a new runner in the race for the ESPNU Watch List quarterback: Michigan State.
“I like the coaching staff a lot. Coach [Mark] Dantonio is a great coach,” Alviti (Park Ridge, Ill./Maine South) said. “I like the feeling there and the fans. They support it well, and not to mention they’re a great team. They won a Big Ten championship in 2010 and a couple plays from winning another this year.”
At Maine South, Alviti runs a spread offense, which would make for an easier transition at either Northwestern or Notre Dame over Michigan State. He says that wouldn’t hold the Spartans back, though.
