It’s never too early to look ahead. Following a majorly successful 2015 season, Michigan State Football is already looking to have an even better year in 2016. Although there will be a few major pieces missing from the puzzle — Connor Cook, Aaron Burbridge, Shilique Calhoun, Jack Conklin — Michigan State still has plenty of talent.
Some of those players who are coming back happen to be severely underrated. Guys like Aaron Burbridge and Jack Conklin had previously gone under the radar to make a splash for the Spartans.
In fact, Conklin was a walk-on before he earned the starting left tackle job and eventually became an All-American.
