Reviewing Statuses of MSU Football Offensive Players Who Entered the Transfer Portal

Michigan State football lost a total of 38 players from last season to the transfer portal this offseason. Spartans coach Jonathan Smith had his work cut out for him, trying to rebuild his program’s relevance. 

Not only did the defense take a big hit this offseason, but the offense did as well.  The Spartans lost 20 players on the offensive side of the ball to the transfer portal this offseason.
