Michigan State football has extended an offer to a big-time quarterback prospect who recently decommitted from the rival Michigan Wolverines.

Peter Bourque of Marion, Mass. announced on Thursday that he’s received an offer from the Spartans.

He was previously committed to Michigan before reopening his recruitment just two days ago. Other than the Spartans and Wolverines, Bourque holds notable offers from Cincinnati, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, NC State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Texas A&M, UCLA, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.
