Michigan State Football: 3 seniors who are due for breakout seasons in 2020

Seniors are the most important players on most teams and Michigan State football is no different. Which seniors will need to step up in 2020?

Seniors are the centerpiece of any team. Sure, there could always be underclassmen who step up as leaders and top players, but seniors are usually always in charge of getting everyone else in line and being those vocal and statistical leaders.

Michigan State is no different and this season may be more important than any in the past decade for seniors to step up with a new coaching staff taking over.

The coaching staff has brought some energy to East Lansing, though. The Spartans did bring back Mike Tressel, Ron Burton and Harlon Barnett while bringing in some elite assistants such as Chris Kapilovic, Scottie Hazelton and Ted Gilmore who will be coaching the offensive line, defense and tight ends, respectively.

Will these guys connect with the seniors enough to make sure there’s not a painful transition in East Lansing? All the players have done nothing but praise the new staff, so there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the program.

Each year, seniors who have patiently waited their turns have had to step up to the plate and have career seasons. The 2020 campaign will be no different.
