I see Kai Golan, kicker, is on the roster.

Thomas Buchanan is now listed as a tight end.

Max Murphy Is not on the roster. Could be just an update issue.

Jaden Perkins is not on the roster. Could be just an update issue.

kia golan is also listed as red shirt freshman but wasn't on last Year's roster... listed as 4 to play 4.... not sure how that works if he wasn't rostered last year.

The NCAA eligibility clock starts as soon as someone enrolls as a full-time student, so if a player attends MSU full-time it counts against their eligibility even if they aren't on the team that year. Teams sometimes get around this by "grayshirting" players which is to have them enroll part-time at first to delay the start of their eligibility by a year.

A very impressive interview with Shawn Howe. I like the way he talks about a collaborate effort. The defense is in good hands.

Wasn’t Max Murphy someone to watch for next year with the loss of Rohan?

Maybe Im mis-remembering things, but I thought someone said that we’d be pleasantly surprised what we have in Murphy.

Was going to be competing with Luvens Valcin for that H-back spot. However, kids leave teams for various reasons that are perfectly normal. Focus on school, graduate early, wants to just be a college kid, etc.

Howe is a very good coach. One of the most well liked coaches msu has ever had from what I collect. He could easily get offers before game one. It’ll be interesting what the defense does this year.
