Former Michigan State linebacker Jacoby Windmon has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent.
While Michigan State football only had one player from last year's roster be selected in the 2024 NFL Draft -- offensive lineman Nick Samac -- the Spartans have had several players who are still getting an opportunity at the next level.Windmon played his final two collegiate seasons at Michigan State after transferring from UNLV.
The season prior, his first as a Spartan, Windmon made six starts at defensive end and two at linebacker. He led the nation with six forced fumbles, tying the second-most in a single season in program history. Windmon finished the season with 49 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 5.5 sacks and an interception. Windmon was one of 10 Spartans from last year's roster to particpate at Michigan State's 2024 Pro Day.."I'm able to show my versatility – I'm able to rush the passer, and I'm able to drop in coverage when I need to be and it kind of helps with timing.
"I expect to be having a great opportunity to go out there and do what I do best. You only have one team. I was blessed and am thankful for my family, thank God, all praise and honor goes to Him for putting me in this position, but I feel like I put myself in a pretty good spot with the results I have from today.
