10 Questions with Spartan Avenue about Michigan State Football

Who are a couple names to know that could be breakout stars for Spartan football?

ANSWER: Breakout players are tough to judge for normal programs, but the fact that Michigan State will be turning to younger guys in 2017 will make it much easier to predict. A few names to keep an eye on, defensively, are middle linebacker Joe Bachie, cornerback Josiah Scott and defensive tackles Mike Panasiuk and Raequan Williams. They are really poised to take over the struggling unit and turn it around. On offense, Brian Lewerke is the obvious name, but wide receivers Trishton Jackson and Hunter Rison should be watched while incoming freshman tight end Matt Dotson could be a rising star.
