ESPN has released their preseason bowl projections, and one of the two writers included in the projections has the Spartans reaching the postseason this fall. That would be Mark Schlabach, while Kyle Bonagura has Michigan State failing to reach bowl eligibility for a fourth straight season.

Defensive lineman Derrick Moore was the only Michigan football player to crack ESPN's list of top 100 players this season.

Dominic Zvada was snubbed by college football’s top kicking award last season, but ESPN continues to recognize his talent. The Michigan senior made the outlet’s All-America team, released on Monday, as the first-team placekicker.
