There are so many players that Mark Dantonio has had who were lightly-recruited and turned out to be excellent college and NFL players like Kirk Cousins, Le’Veon Bell, Jack Conklin and Trae Waynes, to name a few.
Many coaches are able to find those few who uplift their team, but Dantonio has made it into an art. This list of little-known players seemingly grows by the year therefore, this list is not meant to exhaustive. However, please share in the comments section or on Twitter which player(s) I may have missed or you would rank higher or lower.
