Preseason lists are coming out left and right and here at Spartan Avenue, it’s no different. I know most of these lists are clickbait and completely inaccurate (looking at TCU who was picked to win three games last year) but let’s hand out some preseason Michigan State football awards.
Offensive MVP: TE Maliq Carr
The tight end is a new quarterback’s best friend. He’s an even better friend when he’s 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds. He can catch, he runs downhill like a running back, and runs sideline fades like a wide receiver.
I know his blocking could still be improved and that might have affected his usage last year, but it just seemed like every time he touched the ball, it was a big play.
