Michigan State Football: 3 breakout candidates for spring 2020

Although it’s the offseason, with a new coaching regime in place and a reeling basketball team, Michigan State football is all the buzz on campus.

With Mel Tucker taking over as the head coach, adding to his staff with new and familiar faces, and getting busy with recruiting, there’s valid reason to be excited about the direction in which Michigan State football is headed.

It may not come immediately, but there is talent on both sides of the ball, and it has Spartan fans thrilled about the future.

However, Tucker still has a lot of work to do with the current roster, and this spring will tell a lot about how the team is going to look come fall.

There is a lot of talent on the roster, and it’s up to Tucker to determine who should see the field the most. There is also a lot of talent that needs to be replaced, especially at the quarterback position, after Brian Lewerke’s polarizing MSU career has ended.

So, who are some guys who could fill in those roles and have breakout seasons? Let’s take a look at some of the players who could have breakout springs and set themselves up for a good 2020 season.
