Michigan State football head equipment manager Andrew Kolpacki is putting his sewing skills to good use during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Nick Mantas of WLNS, Kolpacki and his friends, MSU alums Garrett Briningstool and Lauren Scott, are using his personal sewing machine to make masks in an effort to aid in the fight against COVID-19.

Kolpacki said the following about the endeavor: "Sewing is used in football equipment [and] we usually are repairing jerseys, but obviously without being on the football field right now for spring football we can use that skill that we've developed and put it towards good use.
