Teng had offers from 15 other schools, including Providence and Rutgers, which were his other finalists. Asked why he chose the Spartans over other contenders, Teng said MLive’s Brandon Champion that the way they play under coach Tom Izzo suits his style:
“Their style of play really suits me very well. I like to get out of tackles on the offensive end. Every time I watched them, there was a similarity between them and the way I play now with my team.”
According to the composite ranking, Teng is #8 among defenders in its class and No. 1 overall in the state of Massachusetts.
