Ahrens will play for Izzo at Michigan State

VERSAILLES – It was never a secret as to where Versailles senior Kyle Ahrens would play college basketball.

The only question was when he would sign.

That question was put to rest Thursday night as Ahrens finally inked his letter to go to Michigan State, trading the black and orange for the green and white of the Spartans.

Ahrens, the son of Kevin and Susan Ahrens, had a signing ceremony Thursday night at Versailles High School after officially signing his letter of intent to play for the Michigan State men’s basketball team on Wednesday.

As a sophomore, Ahrens led the Tigers to a state runner up title and a year ago, Versailles was looking to make a strong run again before he busted up his leg in a game at Versailles in the Holiday Tournament there.

During his sophomore season, he averaged 19.1 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game and 1.6 assists per game.

As a junior he was off to an even better start as he averaged 22.0 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game and 3.0 assists per game before breaking his leg.

Ahrens recently felt pain in his leg and was diagnosed with a stress fracture, which has slowed down his preparations for the upcoming season, forcing him to take some time away from basketball.

Ahrens profiles to either a shooting guard or small forward at the college level.

Ahrens is a three-star prospect, according to recruiting website 247sports.com and espn.com. He joins five-star power forward/center Deyonta Davis of Muskegon, Michigan, and four-star shooting guard Matthew McQuaid of Duncanville, Texas, in Michigan State’s 2015 recruiting class. Together, they are the 12th ranked class in the nation, according to 247sports.com.
