Kenny Soares Jr. Wears No. 1 for Spartans | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Kenny Soares Jr. is Michigan State’s first-ever wearer of the iconic number one jersey, a tradition revived by head coach Pat Fitzgerald from his Northwestern days. A transfer from NC State and former Wildcat, Soares — who played middle linebacker last season with 80 tackles and a few sacks — now gets to carry on the legacy of Spartans greats like Rison, Muhammad, Rogers, and Reed. He’ll debut in the number one against Toledo on Sept. 4, or can opt for his old number with a special helmet sticker — either way, he’s stepping into history.
