Gholston did something small but significant, potentially turning a tragic, deflating and lasting story of summer into one that'll be buried on Gholston Google searches by September.

It doesn’t take watching much video to realize why Mark Dantonio targeted 2013 LB prospect Jon Reschke from Birmingham Brother Rice early. He got his man and the Spartans may have landed their next great linebacker. The 6’5” 230# bruiser’s technique is sound and plays beyond his years.
