East Lansing — Michigan State junior cornerback Justin Layne announced last week he’s forgoing his final season of eligibility and entering the NFL Draft.
On Wednesday, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio confirmed Layne will not play in the Redbox Bowl on Dec. 31 against Oregon in Santa Clara, Calif., and is no longer with the team.
“Justin Layne has left the football team, so obviously he won’t be playing in the bowl game,” Dantonio said during his press conference announcing the 2019 recruiting class. “Everybody else is still with the team, so I imagine they’re playing.
