Michigan State football: 3 spring 2023 breakout candidates on offense

Spring ball is upon us and Michigan State football is gearing up for the annual spring game this coming weekend. The Spartans were unsure if they’d have a spring game, based on the number of bodies available (last year was a nightmare) but the team is relatively healthy and ready to go.

That means that it’s time to predict some breakout stars and guys who I believe might become household names after spring ball.

Here are my top three offensive breakout candidates this spring.

It was a tough call to make between sophomore wideout Tyrell Henry and senior receiver Montorie Foster for this spot, but I decided to go with the younger pass-catcher.

While I do think Foster could have a big season and his potential has been relatively untapped throughout his career, I think Henry might just be the biggest surprise this upcoming season. Everyone is high on Antonio Gates Jr., including myself, but I think that Henry is a dynamic athlete and he’s going to break into the two-deep this season.

Henry could have a major spring and prove that he deserves to be one of the most utilized receivers on the team. I think he’s good enough to do that.

Although he played primarily special teams last year, I think we’ll see him excel as a receiver in 2023 and become a main figure in the passing game.
