🔼 It’s About That Time. Did anyone else get faint whiffs of tailgates and feel like they heard marching bands off in the distance this past weekend?

It sure felt like football season had arrived in East Lansing at Michigan State’s first scrimmage on Saturday!

🔼 Nutmeg Nuggets. It’s officially soccer season! 🎉

⚽️ The men traveled for an exhibition contest against Purdue Fort Wayne over the weekend, playing to a 2-2 draw.

🔼 Checkmate. Michigan State volleyball kicks off its season in just 11 days against Arkansas at the Razorback Classic!

Before then, take a moment to go all-access with the Spartans:

🔼 Spartan On Staff. After a standout playing career for Michigan State men’s tennis from 2019-2023, Kazuki Matsuno has been brought on as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.

Congrats, Coach Matsuno!
