The offensive line is looking beefy for the 2026 season. Michigan State football coach Pat Fitzgerald has landed four transfers, and he’s officially brought back a few key veterans.
Earlier this offseason, former four-star lineman Andrew Dennis announced that he was returning to East Lansing under the new head coach. He was followed up by Conner Moore, who many are excited about for the 2026 season. Rustin Young initially entered the portal but withdrew his name earlier this week, returning to Michigan State for his second season.
Collin Campbell also remained committed under Fitzgerald, and eventually signed during the early period, giving the new staff a young stud to work with in the trenches.
Fitzgerald and new offensive line coach Nick Tabacca got even more good news on Saturday night when a veteran interior offensive lineman announced that he’d be returning as well.
Luka Vincic is officially back.

The news was announced on Saturday evening, and it bolstered the offensive line even more than it already was thanks to the transfer portal.
The offensive line outlook for Tabacca in 2026 is intriguing.
Michigan State’s offensive line is shaping up nicely
Fitzgerald and Tabacca have made some serious moves this offseason along the offensive line. While guys like Kristian Phillips, Gavin Broscious, and Stanton Ramil have all moved on, the new coaching staff has brought back Vincic, Andrew Dennis, Conner Moore, and Rustin Young while also signing Collin Campbell, and picking up four solid offensive linemen in the transfer portal.
The interior is locked down by Vincic and Trent Fraley while Young, Moore, and a couple of guys from the portal can fill the voids at tackle — I like Ben Murawski to start.
A starting offensive linemen that has Moore, Vincic, Fraley, Nick Sharpe, and Young/Murawski might just be the most complete unit the Spartans have seen in years. It all depends on how they’re coached up — as long as it’s better than what we saw under Chris Kapilovic and Jim Michalczik, they should be just fine.
The new coaching staff has to like what it has in the trenches heading into 2026.
Winning starts there.
