Spartans offer Minnesota prospect

Apple Valley, Minn. offensive line prospect Ryan Ruckdashel (6-foot-6, 255 pounds) had a good feeling after leaving the Michigan State camp a few weeks back, and that good feeling has turned into a scholarship offer from the Spartans.

"Michigan State has offered me a scholarship," Ryan Ruckdashel said. "I called the coaches last Wednesday and they said that they were offering me a scholarship. I received the paperwork a few days later in the mail."

Ruckdashel talked about receiving an offer from the Spartans.

"I had a good feeling about Michigan State after I went to their one-day camp. I really liked everything about my camp experience at Michigan State. They have a great tradition, and the facilities as well as the education and academic support for athletes is all very impressive. I'm really thrilled about getting an offer from Michigan State."

Ruckdashel, besides getting ready for his senior season, is also busy doing research on his favorite schools.

"I would say that for now my top two schools are Minnesota and Michigan State. I'm doing a lot of research on both schools this summer. I'm still planning on making my final decision in the early fall."
