The first Michigan State football season under Jonathan Smith is right around the corner, and I think it’s safe to say this season will be vastly different from the previous. A brand new coaching staff in a conference that just added four new teams will surely make this season as unpredictable as ever. But there’s one other thing that will make this season completely different to anything else we’ve ever seen.

All the new players.

So many new faces are on the team this year combined with many names we’ve come to know and love gone to other programs. So that means now more than ever we have no clue who the starters could be this fall.

But I’m going to do my best to project who the starting 11 on offense will be. Fair warning, some of these picks will be straightforward and some you might not even recognize their names yet. But that’s all part of the fun when you have a brand new head coach in the transfer portal era.

Let’s dive in.

(Spoiler: There are a lot of transfers and new names on this list)
