It has been a busy day of news in the college football universe as earlier in the day Mel Tucker officially signed the bulk of the committed players in the 2021 recruiting class. However, Spartan Nation learned this afternoon that at least one member of the current roster will not be joining them on the field next year.
Redshirt Senior Defensive Tackle Naquan Jones announced via Twitter his intensions of declaring for the NFL Draft.
In Jones’ statement he thanked his teammates, Spartan Nation, and the MSU coaching staff, including Coach Dantonio, Coach Salem, Coach Tucker, and especially Coach Burton who he referred to as both a father figure and a role model.
