Michigan State University is one of the leading research universities in America. Having our
student-athletes be a part of that is both very rewarding and exciting for us as coaches
here. I think it's also very important though that people understand and see that our players
aren't just pieces on the field they're also individuals in a classroom that are working
tirelessly to get their degree. You hope that they not only are leaders on the field but
are leaders in our community and also leaders in the classroom. I think our players do a
great job trying to balance all those different things as we move towards that ultimate goal
of graduation. Really that's what's going to set you apart. That'll have the biggest
impact on your life—your graduation. The aspect of leaving Michigan State as a student
is going to transcend leaving Michigan State as a player there's no question in my mind.
