Michigan State football DL coach Ron Burton leaving program

Michigan State football head coach Mel Tucker and defensive line coach Ron Burton have agreed to part ways marking the end of his 9-year coaching career at MSU. The move, made official today, will be the third position coach change since the season concluded.

Burton came to Michigan State in 2013 under head coach Mark Dantonio to take over the defensive line coaching duties. His move to East Lansing came after he spent 9 seasons with the Air Force Academy as their defensive line coach.

Mel Tucker will look to replace Burton with a defensive line coach that will work along side new pass rush specialist Brandon Jordan.
