Spartans' Defensive Line Depth in Question | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State’s defensive line is in a precarious spot heading into the season—relying on just three starters with little proven depth behind them. Ben Roberts and Eli Coenen anchor the front, with Derrick Simmons likely rounding out the top three, but injuries could quickly expose a glaring weakness. Gone are key contributors like Alex VanSumeren and Grady Kelly, leaving the Spartans with a thin rotation. Backups Carlos Hazelwood, Mikeshun Beeler, and true freshman Hudson Aultman lack experience at this level, making health and performance of the starters absolutely critical. If anyone goes down, the defense could be in serious trouble. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
