EAST LANSING — Kenny Willekes is coming back for one more season.
The final piece to Michigan State’s returning defensive starters is its biggest addition for 2019, as the All-America defensive end announced via Twitter on Tuesday night that he will not enter the NFL draft.
“I will be returning to Michigan State for my senior year to pursue the goal of returning to the Big Ten championship with my brothers,” Willekes wrote.
