Michigan State cornerback Shakur Brown announced on Monday that he is forgoing his final season of eligibility and is planning to enter the NFL Draft in the spring.
The redshirt junior is tied for the Big Ten lead this season with five interceptions, giving him seven for his career. Brown, a native of Stockbridge, Ga., has a pair of multi-interception games this season, picking off two passes against Indiana and Northwestern. His other interception came in the season-opener against Rutgers.
Brown was part of Mark Dantonio’s 2017 recruiting class and redshirted his first season. He appeared in 12 games in 2018, returning his one interception for a touchdown.
