Michigan State names its 2018 football captains

The Michigan State Spartans have named captains for the 2018 season. Quarterback Brian Lewerke, linebacker Joe Bachie and safety Khari Willis make up this year’s group.

This is not at all surprising, and the right decision for the Spartans. Willis is a senior and was expected to be a near lock for the honor, and his teammates have been referring to him as “captain” all offseason long. He was also the keynote speaker at the Big Ten Media Days Kickoff Luncheon.

The quarterback position is often looked at as a natural leader of the team.
