Khari Willis, Joe Bachie, Brian Lewerke uniquely qualified to lead Michigan State

East Lansing — Khari Willis has seen the highs and the lows of major college football.

Brian Lewerke has been there, too. Joe Bachie’s got a solid handle on it, as well.

So it’s no surprise those three were named Michigan State’s captains for the 2018 season, one that begins next Friday when Utah State visits Spartan Stadium.

“I think they’ll do an outstanding job,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. “I think it’s a great representation of our football team.”

That’s because they understand what goes into being a championship-winning team, as well as what can happen when things quickly go the wrong way.
