EAST LANSING -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio expects linebacker Ed Davis to be granted a sixth year of eligibility and return to the field this fall.
Jon Reschke became a reliable strongside playmaker while flanking middle linebacker Riley Bullough. Andrew Dowell saw action as a true freshman, but rising junior Chris Frey has leapfrogged him on the depth chart this spring and is getting first-team reps at the weakside spot in the battle to replace the graduation loss of Darien Harris. He’ll return to a crowded group of linebackers that have become the Spartans’ deepest position group.
