BOOTH ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“I chose MSU because it is a place where I could visualize myself being successful as a student-athlete and as an individual. The school’s foundation is built off excellence and I look forward to carrying that with me there and beyond.”
COACH TUCKER ON BOOTH:
"Antoine has good size, build and bulk, and he shows good, reactive athleticism and ball skills. He shows that he won’t panic with his back to the ball in man coverage and is disruptive at the high point. He plays with good balance and body control, and is versatile as an inside and outside DB. He will add a great deal of versatility value to our DB room."
