Former Michigan State Spartan football player Demetrice Martin took a long, winding road back to East Lansing.
Former Michigan State defensive back Demetrice Martin hadn’t been back to East Lansing since his senior year at MSU in 1995. Nearly 30 years later, Martin returned to campus, this time as the cornerbacks coach under Michigan State’s new head coach, Jonathan Smith. Martin says he immediately felt at home upon his return.
Martin coached at many different schools on the West Coast and even faced Smith while at rival schools, Oregon and Oregon State. Martin says their battles against each other helped grow their appreciation for each other. Martin says he looks forward to working with new Michigan State defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, who left Minnesota to join Michigan State.
Coach Smith, Martin, and the rest of Michigan State’s coaching staff have had difficulty navigating the transfer portal, which hasn’t been kind to the Spartans. However, Martin soon will have a better idea of what the Spartans’ defensive back room will look like. He plans to help MSU return to its former glory in football.Martin said
