Defensive line coach Ron Burton leaving Michigan State 'for new opportunities'

East Lansing — Just when it looked like Mel Tucker’s staff was set for the 2022 season, there is now another void to fill.

Defensive line coach Ron Burton said in a post Sunday on Twitter that he was moving on from Michigan State and looking “for new opportunities.”

“East Lansing and Michigan State will always hold a special place in my heart,” Burton said. “I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Burton came to Michigan State in 2013 as the defensive line coach under Mark Dantonio, helping the Spartans capture a Big Ten championship on their way to a Rose Bowl victory.
