Michigan State football saw the departure of multiple key defensive players to the NFL including Joe Bachie, Raequan Williams, Kenny Willekes, and Mike Panasiuk. Luckily, one returning defensive player is receiving high praise. According to Pro Football Focus College’s grades, returning DE Jacub Panasiuk boasts the second-best pass-rushing grade among returning edge defenders. He is only second to Duke DE Chris Rumph.
In the 2019 season, Panasiuk racked up 18 solo tackles, five sacks, and three forced fumbles. According to PFF, Panasiuk will produce plenty on defense for the Spartans next year. This is a necessity due to the aforementioned departures on the defensive side of the ball.
Panasiuk took to Twitter and boy he was hype. Check out his response below:
