Michigan State's Older Roster, New Challenges | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State’s football team is aging fast—ranking fifteenth oldest in the FBS with an average player age of 20.64, making them the oldest in the Big Ten. Gone are the days of rebuilding through youth; the transfer portal has flipped the script, letting new coach Mark Dantonio plug in 32 new players after 45 left. Experience is everywhere: their offensive line, once a liability, now boasts a starting five of fifth- and sixth-year seniors, three from elsewhere. Top players across offense and defense are upperclassmen nearing eligibility’s end—except the QB, a sophomore, whose backup is a sixth-year senior. Experience doesn’t guarantee wins—Georgia’s young roster proves that—but Michigan State’s depth and veteran savvy could be their secret weapon this season.
