<description><![CDATA[Pioneer. Barrier breaker. Trailblazer. Those words undoubtedly describe former Michigan State quarterback Willie Thrower. But there's one that will always top the list: first. Thrower became the first African-American quarterback to play in the Big Ten, and later he accomplished the same feat in the National Football League when he played with the Chicago Bears in 1953. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is an interesting choice for Michigan State and Dantonio, who hasn't had to replace an assistant in a while. Enos was one of the Big Ten's top recruiters and helped Michigan State improve its presence in the Detroit area. Salem will have huge shoes to fill from a recruiting standpoint, and he hasn't been in the area for a while. But his background as a former high school coach could be beneficial as he tries to build relationships in the state. ]]></description>
