Michigan State football’s depth at offensive tackle has been thin all season and Tuesday we learned one reason why.
Coach Mel Tucker said junior Mustafa Khaleefah is the third offensive tackle to opt-out due to concerns over COVID-19. The junior from Dearborn made his decision before the season, but Tucker confirmed it publicly Tuesday during his news conference.
Khaleefah, who got 36 snaps on offense and also played on special teams in five games last season, joins senior Jordan Reid and true freshman Justin Stevens, fellow offensive linemen who publicly announced their decisions on Twitter this summer.
