Michigan State basketball added another key player to its 2025-26 roster on Friday via the transfer portal.
Samford transfer guard Trey Fort announced his commitment to Michigan State on Friday afternoon. Fort reportedly visited Michigan State earlier this week, which must have helped seal the deal in his commitment to join the Spartans.
Fort averaged 14.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 24.6 minutes of action during this past year at Samford. This will be Fort’s sixth college team in the past six year, spending time at Tennessee-Martin, Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Howard College, Mississippi State and Samford.
With Michigan State making another splash via the transfer portal, fans and media were certainly intrigued and ready to weigh in on social media. Check out some of the best social media reactions following Fort’s commitment to Michigan State:

Michigan State ranked 319th in the country in 3pt percentage last season and lost 3 of our best shooters in Jase, Tre, and Jaden. Fort will bring some much needed shooting and guard depth to the Spartans. Also is an underrated athlete imo https://t.co/g037vxtbDQ

Was really impressed with Fort as a rebounder at 6’4 from the guard position. But showed plenty of scoring ability this season too, including 36 vs Wofford & 29 vs UNCG.
Also finished with 11 steals in his final 4 regular season games. Notable! https://t.co/UkM3IZFQIq

It’s sad most of our fans aren’t happy unless we spend millions on an AJ Storr. No one appears to appreciate the Trey Fort pick up. He’s a great productive guard that brings age and fits out needs.

Michigan State basketball has officially landed Samford transfer Trey Fort! Fort is another player with experience against the Spartans.
With the previous “Bucky Ball” experience, I am excited that Fort is a player used to playing fast and can shoot the three.
Congrats, Trey! https://t.co/esSv3FOO72

MSU has its alpha perimeter scorer. The last glaring hole is a backup PG. https://t.co/EvR8gw8cS2
