Young Stays, Spartans Gain Depth

Rustin Young’s decision to return to Michigan State is a major win for the Spartans’ offensive tackle depth, showcasing how the new coaching staff turned a potential transfer into a key piece. A four-star recruit who started five games last season, Young pulled his name out of the portal just four days after entering — a fast move that signals his importance. With experience on both sides but mostly at left tackle, he’s poised to back up UConn transfer Ben Murawski this year — and could be the starter by 2027 when Murawski’s eligibility runs out. Young’s proven Big Ten toughness makes him a reliable second-string option in a transfer portal era where depth is everything. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
