EAST LANSING - Michigan State head coach Tom Anastos announced Tuesday (Oct. 11) that seniors Rhett Holland and Thomas Ebbing have been added as assistant captains for the 2016-17 season.
“They have earned the respect of their teammates and demonstrated a level of influence and standard their teammates embrace,” Anastos said at Tuesday’s weekly press conference. “We feel it’s the right move to round out our captains group.”
Ebbing has appeared in every game during his three years with the Spartans. Last season, the native of Troy put up a career-best 19 points (5g, 14a) and was voted the winner of the team’s Most Improved Player award.
