  • Michigan State football players spend off week in Houston helping clean up

    It was quite the moment when the bus pulled up at Steve Leisz’s home in west Houston. Ten football players from Michigan State University piled out, ready to go. Leisz, the football coach at Episcopal High School, immediately recognized one of the players. He had coached against Tyler Higby, a sophomore offensive lineman for the Spartans who played for Episcopal rival Kinkaid. This time, they were meeting off the field in a completely different situation.

  • Michigan State looks to shift run game to higher gear

    Michigan State has run the ball effectively through two games. The scary thing for Notre Dame – this week’s opponent – is that LJ Scott hasn’t even gotten going yet. Scott accounted for a little more than a third of the Spartans’ 260 rushing yards in last year’s 36-28 win. If MSU can match that production in Saturday’s prime-time game, there’s a good chance the Megaphone Trophy stays where it is for the foreseeable future.

  • Michigan State’s Houston natives thankful for teammates making bye week relief trip

    When Tyler Higby first saw Michigan State’s 2017 schedule, he had the same reaction many of his teammates did to the early season bye. “That kind of sucks,” Higby recalled thinking. At the time his concerns were with playing 10 straight games to close the season and possibly losing early season momentum by taking a break. Then Hurricane Harvey hit his native Houston, triggering massive flooding. Now, he has a different outlook on this early bye.

  • Darrell Stewart: MSU helping out Houston ‘means a lot’

    “It means a lot, just seeing us as a Spartan family can stick together and just help out the city that made me the man I am today,” Stewart said. “One thing I told the guys, I was like, ‘The main goal for me is going back and giving back to the city that gave a lot to me.’ Going back and seeing people going through devastating times, I just want to … make them happy and let them know that we’ve got hope. As long as you have faith in God, anything is possible.”

  • Darrell Stewart’s results catch up with potential as MSU receiver

    A little patience is necessary for some. Wide receiver Darrell Stewart falls firmly into that category — a receiver/defensive back/quarterback from Houston that joined an eventual playoff team in 2015 complete with a pair of future NFLers at the wide receiver position. Finding the field was going to be hard for Stewart that year, to say the least.

  • Darrell Stewart Jr. trending up for Michigan State while LJ Scott needs to protect the ball

    Michigan State opened its season with a 35-10 win over Bowling Green on Saturday. It was only the first game of a new season against a MAC team that finished 4-8 last year, but a step forward for the Spartans following a disappointing 2016. Here’s a look at some Michigan State highlights and concerns from the opener

  • Darrell Stewart’s athleticism adds unique element to MSU offense, special teams

    In an offseason dominated by scandal and separation, along with the highly anticipated return of sophomore quarterback Brian Lewerke and the three-headed monster running back trio, Michigan State wideout Darrell Stewart Jr. wasn’t exactly the center of attention heading into Saturday’s opening contest against Bowling Green. But now, he just might be.

  • 2017 Michigan State football preview: The receivers and tight ends

    MSU’s returning receivers and tight ends have a combined 14 career catches between them, all 14 from the expected starters this season. Sophomore Trishton Jackson might be MSU’s best hope for a go-to target. Jackson’s electrifying eight-catch showing in the spring game showed he was capable of being a big-time weapon. Felton Davis, a tall target, and bruising sophomore Darrell Stewart are the other two starting wideouts. Junior Matt Sokol figures to be used heavily in the passing game at tight end. Sokol is 6-foot-6, 250 pounds at faster than his predecessor Josiah Price.

  • Darrell Stewart hopes to be starting kick returner

    Darrell Stewart Jr. likes his chances to become Michigan State’s starting kick returner. He’s competing against freshmen receivers Hunter Rison and Laress Nelson for the job, but he feels his speed has given him the edge in fall camp. “The competition is looking nice, really,” Stewart said Monday at MSU’s media day. “It’s really on fire. The return game, it’s a couple of guys who are trying to get in there right now.

  • Young Spartans receivers’ optimism catching

    Things are so good for Terrence Samuel these days he thinks the gray in his hair might just disappear and come back in darker. No, Michigan State’s wide receivers coach hasn’t found some new-fangled formula in how to avoid going gray. What he does have is fresh optimism about his position group, one that might be the most unproven on a Spartans team that will be counting heavily on youth and inexperience when it kicks off the season Sept. 2 at home against Bowling Green.

  • Michigan State wide receivers are young, ‘but we’re ready, too’

    Cam Chambers waited and watched three of his classmates get their chance at wide receiver last season. First, Justin Layne moved to cornerback. Then Donnie Corley was dismissed from the program. Now, Chambers sees a chance to make his impact. “It was tough,” the redshirt freshman said today. “I wanted to help any time. I was eager to get out there. I was on-call and ready to go whenever I was called. ”He’s likely to hear his name very soon.

  • Young Michigan State wide receiver corps begins to take shape

    Wide receiver Trishton Jackson was the breakout player of the Michigan State spring game, with eight catches for 168 yards in the Saturday exhibition. But the Spartans will need more than one unproven young wide receiver to step up to have success throwing the ball in 2017.
