4. The young offensive linemen
It was hard to pick just one here, but any of the young offensive linemen would be important to convince to stay, especially when you consider how much this unit needs to improve.
We saw some upperclassmen struggle this season and it'll be up to the younger guys to turn it around. Guys like Andrew Dennis, Gavin Broscious, Cole Dellinger, Stanton Ramil, and Rustin Young will all be important to keep around for the 2025 season because all could legitimately start and play major snaps for Michigan State.
If the offensive line loses this depth, it would probably lead to another disappointing season in the trenches. These guys need to pave the way for a run game with a pulse and also protect Aidan Chiles better than he was protected in 2024.
These linemen is the most important trench players to convince to return in 2025.
