Michigan State Football: 5 players who improved stock in 2019 spring game
It was one of those days that Brian Lewerke might look back on and consider crucial to his turnaround as a Michigan State quarterback.
The senior passer had a rough 2018 season and didn’t nearly live up to expectations. Was it because of his shoulder injury? That was part of it. How about confidence? Another key reason. But the mixture of the two was a dangerous cocktail for the green and white offense.
On Saturday afternoon, that all looked like a distant memory.
In fact, Lewerke was throwing crisp passes to receivers, leading them and showing more patience and confidence in the pocket. He wasn’t locking in to one receiver and forcing throws, but rather hitting guys who slipped open and making the right reads. He looked like his old self, squashing any notion of a quarterback competition.

The season is still about five months away, so anything could happen over the summer, but Lewerke needed to improve his stock the most this spring, and I think he did just that.
