The young MSU defensive ends will see extra reps in the bowl game due to Ryan Brown's injury.
We learned from the MSU media on Saturday that senior defensive end Ryan Brown will miss the Belk Bowl. Brown opted to have surgery to repair a stress fracture he's played with for several weeks, according to Steve Robertson's show on Bulldog Sports Radio.
With an NFL future in mind, it was the right move. Brown needs to be at full strength to start preparing for opportunities with NFL teams. Even if he doesn't get drafted, you can bet he'll land on a roster somewhere.
