Michigan State signee Aydan West is set to arrive on campus next week, eager to begin his freshman year with winter conditioning and spring practices. With the departure of starting cornerbacks Ed Woods and Charles Brantley, West has a significant opportunity to secure a prominent role in the Spartans’ defense.
Upon his arrival, West will reunite with a familiar face: James Adams, former safeties coach at Wake Forest, who was recently appointed to the same position at Michigan State.
West and Adams developed a strong relationship during West’s recruitment, which played a pivotal role in West’s commitment to Michigan State, despite a strong push from Ohio State. Expressing his excitement about Adams’ hiring, West shared on social media, “My guy. Congrats Coach Adams. Great coach, Great man.”
Adams brings a wealth of experience to the Spartans, having previously coached at Wake Forest, Western Michigan, Navy, and Purdue. His track record of developing talent and leading successful defensive units is expected to significantly benefit Michigan State’s secondary.
As West embarks on his collegiate career, the presence of a trusted mentor like Adams is anticipated to facilitate his transition and development, positioning him to make an immediate impact on Michigan State’s defense in the upcoming season.
