Thiyo Lukusa has quit Michigan State’s football team after his freshman season, a major loss for the Spartans’ young, developing offensive line. The Traverse City native confirmed to the Free Press today that he signed the paperwork to relinquish his scholarship. “I really haven’t been in love with football since I was in high school,” Lukusa said via phone.

Mark Staten reflected back the spring of 2013, after Michigan State’s offensive line trudged through a 2012 season filled with injuries and lack of depth. The Spartans’ coaches theorized somebody they didn’t expect would come back that fall and become a difference-maker. Back then, it was Jack Conklin. Staten wants his young offensive linemen to learn from that story. A 3-9 season and attrition along the trenches will provide plenty of opportunity.
