- Starting Alessio all last year would’ve meant a bowl game and 6 wins.

- Michigan State's linebacker group was highlighted as a position the speaker feels good about entering 2026. - Brady Pretzelof is a key injury-return variable after a season-ending injury last year, when he was expected to be the second-string Mike linebacker. - True freshman Adam Shaw drew real spring reps and was mentioned as a possible Mike linebacker option, adding depth if Pretzelof is limited. - The room also includes Auburn transfer Kale Beweeland, giving Michigan State more ways to cover the position if health is not clean.

- Injury: Pelvic Floor Manipulation (which involves digital penetration) is a somewhat obscure Osteopathic treatment that not many physicians still practice.

- Michigan State's schedule discussion flags the physical spot after Notre Dame, asking how beat up the Spartans will be coming out of that game. - Wisconsin comes on the road the next week, making the Notre Dame-to-Wisconsin sequence a notable fatigue and injury-management stretch. - The snippet is light on matchup detail, but it does identify a difficult back-to-back schedule pocket for Michigan State.

- Top 5 of 7 Michigan State OL getting full reps; one mistake triggers reset.

- Izzo exploring portal and international talent to improve roster next year.

- Kirk Gibson had elite football speed despite average 40-time; LB size with WR speed; saved TD on interception return.

- Safety situation concerning: JT has true freshman Granby and walk-ons Majeed/Grose in two-deep with Nikai injury history; staff missed S and DL despite addressing OL/RB/LB.

- Kekai Burnett disappointing; should be stepping up as key rotation DE. - Was he injured last year?

- Michigan State's QB room is framed as settled at the top: Fitzgerald has already said Alessio Milivojevic will start Week 1 against Toledo. - If Milivojevic is unavailable, the backup expectation in the snippet is Camp Bancher rather than a true open competition. - Kate Kaufman is not expected to start this season and is more likely in a QB3 battle with Leo Hannan, with meaningful game reps probably still a ways off. - On the line, Connor Moore was noted as playing right guard, and Nebraska transfer Kenneth Williams gives MSU a proven kickoff return option after second-team All-Big Ten return production last season.

- MSU fine at QB; Mili redshirt sophomore with mobile backup; Sheridan adapts offense to QB skillset.

- QB: I fully expect he'll be much better: better QB, better overall system, much higher motivation.

- QB: If your a top D2 QB put yourself in the portal.

- Michigan State's receiver room is thin on proven returning production, which makes Charles Taplin notable because he was running with the first teamers and is one of the few returning wideouts with prior production. - McCray is expected to get the ball a lot this season, and his best game last year came with Alessio Milivojevic at quarterback. - The rest of the receiver group is described as difficult to gauge, leaving Taplin's role and any proven chemistry especially important for the 2026 passing-game outlook.

- Michigan State's offensive line projection still has Connor Moore as the right tackle starter for now, with Rakeem Johnson having taken right tackle reps during spring. - Colin Campbell's best-case near-term path is to move into a backup role because the starting spots and most backup spots are already fairly set. - Rustin Young is projected as the backup left tackle, while the right tackle backup is described as a former Georgia Southern starter who was solid there. - At quarterback, the depth chart is described as Aidan Chiles at QB1 with Alessio Milivojevic and Cam Anthony behind him, limiting immediate freshman movement.

- MSU’s 1-8 team still produced NFL-caliber players; concern is portal additions from weak FCS schools.

- McCray is very good WR; D-line depth biggest concern; 7-win floor.

- Full depth chart from Spring Showcase all-22 available? - Analysis of dual stand-up edge rushers vs run-drill performance?

- Michigan State is transitioning to Nick Sheridan's modern spread, including tempo and RPO elements derived from the DeBoer offenses at Washington and Alabama. - Personnel should make the first-year version more run-heavy and methodical, using repeated rushing attempts to create selective play-action and vertical shots. - Alessio Milivojevic's on-time, low-variance style can keep the offense on schedule, although his limited rushing explosiveness may constrain some of the RPO menu. - Receiver is the largest schematic constraint; the scheme can create openings, but the unit needs an unproven option such as Charles Taplin to emerge as a credible vertical threat.

- Practice: If you can't do it all with an old Mossberg pump 20 gauge you need more practice.

- Win-total frame: The discussion centers on what Michigan State would need to do to exceed Vegas and media expectations in 2026. - Baseline outlook: The speaker says Michigan State currently looks like roughly another 5-7 type team, while still leaving room for a higher ceiling. - Betting use: No formal play is given; the actionable note is that bowl eligibility is not treated as a confident baseline, but upside exists if the Spartans beat modest expectations.

- Pick/market: Celebrate may be too strong of a word.

- Cover 3 framed Michigan State as a split-opinion team, with at least one speaker not as bullish on the Spartans' outlook. - The bearish context is tied more to program instability than a specific position group: the snippets cite administrative turnover at president and athletic director as a major problem. - This is a low-confidence market/context note rather than a personnel takeaway, but it does flag skepticism around Michigan State flipping its trajectory cleanly.

- LB: Boardroom fumble Like a lot of Spartans, I’ve been frustrated watching the constant turnover and controversy surrounding university leadership.

- Pick/market: He will definitely have a defeated season.

- A graduated player or grad transfer, who has already earned a bachelor's degree and competed in the 2025 season (even if the player has remaining eligibility and may return to play next season).
