The unit’s biggest hopes rest on three key newcomers: redshirt freshman Derrick Simmons, tasked with anchoring a thin defensive line; Devin Vaught, the likely starting strong safety who must adapt quickly from FCS; and Kenny Soares Jr., a familiar face from Fitzgerald’s previous staff now playing hybrid rush end. Their performance will be critical to whether Michigan State can finally stop bleeding points and compete at a higher level. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
