Michigan State has lost two more players to the transfer portal. Red-shirt freshman linebackers Luke Fulton and Charles Willekes are the latest defections to the portal.
Neither Fulton or Willekes have suited up for the Spartans this year as a suspension was handed down on both of them before the season had begun. The suspension was the result of an off the field investigation being done over a situation that had taken place. Fulton was initially charged with aggravated assault and there were no known charges for Willekes.
Michigan State confirms linebackers Luke Fulton and Charles Willekes have entered the transfer portal. Each had been suspended since early September.

This would mark three linebackers to transfer from the Spartans, after Marcel Lewis announced his decision to transfer earlier this season. That leaves Michigan State with eight scholarship linebackers for the remainder of this season.
With no linebackers currently committed in the 2021 recruiting class, expect to see head coach Mel Tucker, defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton and linebackers coach Ross Els to add one or two linebackers through the 2021 recruiting class, as well as hitting the transfer portal hard this off-season.
