MSU redshirt freshman Darrell Stewart Jr. making the most of his opportunity

MSU wide receiver Darrell Stewart Jr. will look to help fill the huge void in production left at the wide receiver position after the departures of Aaron Burbridge and Macgarrett Kings Jr.

Now listed as the No. 1 slot receiver on the Spartans' depth chart, the redshirt-freshman has yet to play an in-game snap, but he has received high praise from head coach Mark Dantonio and wide receivers coach Terrence Samuel.

Burbridge's 1,258 receiving yards and Kings' 519 receiving yards last season made-up 54 percent of the team's total receiving yards last season. This gap will be hard to make up for and leaves the young wide receiving crew with big shoes to fill.
