Considering all the Spartans have faced over the last 12 months, Michigan State and Coach Jonathan Smith's success will be graded on a different scale than any other college football team.
Michigan State football coach Jonathan Smith is just months away from the first game of his tenure in East Lansing. While the Spartans have many obstacles to overcome this season, it is worth noting that Coach Smith and the Spartans have seemingly overcome hurdles since he arrived on campus.
Not long after arriving on campus, Michigan State lost nearly 20 scholarship players to the transfer portal. Few college football programs nationwide lost that many players this offseason if any at all. What was supposed to be a tool for teams to get better instantly made the Spartans worse, leaving the roster shorthanded.
However, Michigan State's eventual success in the transfer portal made for a jampacked June for Smith and his coaching staff. The Spartans have played catch-up for most of the offseason and are now focusing on filling out their 2025 recruiting class.
