The Michigan State Spartans have named captains for the team’s second game of the season, and home opener, against the Youngstown State Penguins on Saturday.
The captains for this week include kicker Matt Coghlin, safety Xavier Henderson and tight end/H-back/running back Connor Heyward.
Head coach Mel Tucker believes in rotating captains weekly, although Henderson has received the honor in back-to-back weeks now. This is unsurprising as Henderson is one of the team’s constant leaders, and had a good performance against the Northwestern Wildcats last week with nine total tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack.
