Both Michigan State football and Michigan football got the first of what it hopes will be a number of national honors this season.
MSU linebacker Cal Haladay and U-M linebacker Junior Colson was named a Freshman All-American announced by the Maxwell Football Club on Monday.
Haladay emerged out of preseason camp and started all 12 regular-season games in the middle of coach Mel Tucker's 4-2-5 defense. The redshirt freshman ranks third on the Spartans with 85 tackles, returned an interception for a touchdown at Indiana, forced two fumbles and recovered another.
