Michigan State football announces Big Ten Media Day representatives

Michigan State football announced who would be representing the team at Big Ten Media Day in a couple of weeks.

We are still a couple of weeks away from Big Ten Media Day and Michigan State football has finally announced who will be representing this year’s team at the event in Indianapolis.

The Spartans’ Twitter account tweeted out that Jack Velling, Nate Carter, and Dillon Tatum would be at Lucas Oil Stadium on July 24.

Honestly, these three choices couldn’t be any better as there’s a good mix of players. There’s a Spartan who has been with the program for a few years (Tatum), another who transferred in last season (Carter), and another who just joined the program this offseason (Velling). Each of them has a different perspective on what it means to be a Spartan and I feel like that’s why Jonathan Smith chose them.

Sure, it would have been easy to send the quarterback, but it feels like Smith wanted to stick to upperclassmen.

Tatum has been with Michigan State the longest and I’m sure he’ll be asked about the Michigan rivalry now that his former defensive backfield mate, Jaden Mangham, joined the bad guys. Carter has the potential to be a breakout star in the backfield but was plagued by a mediocre offensive line and a coaching change in 2023. And Velling is one of the best tight ends in the country and followed Smith over from Oregon State.

Michigan State will be well-represented here by three strong personalities who all carry leadership qualities.

There aren’t really any surprise choices although I’m a little surprised to see no Jordan Hall or maybe another veteran linebacker like Jordan Turner or Cal Haladay. I do like the mix of guys that Smith chose, though.

Michigan State football fans can’t wait to hear what they have to say about the upcoming season.
