Michigan State offensive lineman Brandon Clemons will be returning to the Spartans for a sixth season. The NCAA approved Clemons appeal for an extra year of eligibility Tuesday.
Clemons' return provides a boost of experience for an offensive line that needs to replace three starters (two of them former All-America selections) in the 2016 season. The Pennsylvania native worked with the first unit at offensive guard during spring practice. Head coach Mark Dantonio was confident Clemons would be able to play this fall.
