Jaren Mangham’s time at Michigan State isn’t done.
The fifth-year senior running back announced via social media on Tuesday he’s returning to the Spartans to use his final season of eligibility.
Mangham, a Detroit native, spent the first two seasons of his college career at Colorado and then two more at South Florida before transferring to join the Spartans last year. The season didn’t go as planned as injuries limited him to 30 carries for 81 yards and seven catches for 37 yards in six games.
Returning to Michigan State will allow Mangham to play with his younger brother for another season. Sophomore Jaden Mangham is a starting safety who had 53 tackles and a team-high four interceptions this season. They both wore No. 1 in their first season playing together.
A former standout at Detroit Cass Tech, Mangham had 314 carries for 1,251 yards and 23 touchdowns in 32 games split between Colorado and South Florida. He rushed for career highs of 671 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first season with the Bulls in 2021 and then appeared in only four games the following year to keep a redshirt.
