Fitzgerald Era Begins at Michigan State | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State football kicks off a new era under first-year head coach Pat Fitzgerald, who brings over 100 wins and bowl pedigree from Northwestern. Practice begins August 6, with the season opener against Toledo on September 4. Returning QB Alessio Milivojevic and senior linebacker Jordan Hall anchor the roster, while 32 experienced transfers—including standout grad transfer Cam Fancher—bolster depth across offense and defense. The Spartans face a tough slate: home games vs. Toledo and EMU, road battles at Notre Dame, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and UCLA, plus a pivotal showdown against Michigan in November. New coordinators join the staff as preseason honors highlight rising stars—making this the most loaded and anticipated season in years.
