Spartans Rebuild with New Line, Special Teams Focus | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State football is poised for a major rebuild under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald, with the offensive line and pass rush getting serious upgrades through the transfer portal. They’ve brought in elite talent including a former UConn tackle, a Rimington Award-winning center, and a seasoned guard to fix last year’s struggles. Fitzgerald is also experimenting with linebacker Kenny Soares Jr. at rush end and counting on emerging stars like Anelu Lafaele to pressure quarterbacks. Special teams is now a top priority, thanks to Fitzgerald’s admiration for Iowa’s model and the hiring of veteran coordinator LeVar Woods — a bold move that sees starters playing multiple roles. The Spartans open their season against Toledo on September 4th, aiming for a full turnaround under Fitzgerald’s leadership.
