Dantonio: Players will decide if Jon Reschke returns to MSU

Detroit — A little more than a year ago, Jon Reschke’s career at Michigan State was finished.

The linebacker, who was a standout at Birmingham Brother Rice, announced in February 2017 that he was leaving the Spartans program and seeking a transfer for his final season of eligibility after making what he called “an insensitive and totally regrettable comment involving a former teammate.”

Rumors have been circulating recently that Reschke, who never announced where he would transfer and did not play in 2017, was hoping to return to Michigan State for one final season.

After speaking at a coaching clinic for Detroit Public School League coaches at the Horatio Williams Foundation on Wednesday, coach Mark Dantonio said he has discussed the matter with his team and any decision welcoming Reschke back would be made by the players.
