As fifth-year senior quarterback Brian Lewerke’s career has winded down at Michigan State, he likely never thought he’d ever take a snap with three true freshmen along the offensive line.But that’s exactly what unfolded when left tackle Devontae Dobbs, left guard J.D. Duplain and center Nick Samac all started last weekend against Rutgers.

These days, it’s hard to find much to get excited about if you’re a fan of the Michigan State football team.This season has been an unquestioned disappointment as the Spartans entered preseason camp with thoughts of getting back to the Big Ten championship game and winning a conference title for the first time since 2015.

After Saturday’s win over Indiana, JD Duplain is Michigan State’s most experienced true freshman offensive lineman. The Strongsville (Ohio) product checked in during the first half of the win over the Hoosiers, registering nine plays at left guard. Combined with his seven snaps the week prior in his debut against Northwestern, Duplain now has more on-field reps than fellow freshmen Devontae Dobbs and Nick Samac. Dobbs and Samac both have appeared in two games so far, with the former playing nine snaps and the latter logging 12.
