Spartans Rebuild Under Fitzgerald | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Michigan State football is poised for a major rebuild under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald, who takes over after a brutal 3-9 season with zero conference wins at home. Key losses include top receiver Nick Marsh (now at Indiana) and leading rusher Makhi Frazier (transferred to Ole Miss), but the Spartans are bolstered by UConn’s Cam Edwards, a 1,200-yard, 15-touchdown back expected to anchor the run-heavy offense. Defense gets a boost with returnee Charles Brantley, who brings Big Ten experience. While 2026 is clearly a rebuilding year, a few early wins and three conference wins would be a solid start—even if it means skipping a bowl. The season opener against Wisconsin promises fireworks, as both teams look to rebound from tough 2025 campaigns.
