Good morning, Spartans! Can you do what some of these football players can’t do?

What else do we have brewing today?

🏈 Spring practice updates
🏀 Academic honor
💚 And much, much more

🔼 Got Some Updates. Football head coach Pat Fitzgerald gave an update on the Spartans in the fifth and final week of spring practice. He is excited to see everyone at the Spring Showcase on Saturday at 12pm. Admission is free! See what else he mentioned here.

🔼 Honored. Women’s basketball player Grace VanSlooten was named a College Sports Communicators third-team Academic All-American. VanSlooten, a native of Toledo, Ohio, became the first Spartan to capture Academic All-American honors since Liz Shimek during the 2005-06 season. She is only the seventh different MSU player to earn the honor.

🔼 Ready to Compete. Three gymnasts are ready to compete at the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Sage Kellerman and Nikki Smith and Gabi Ortiz will compete as individuals in the first of two semifinals today at 4:30pm ET. Smith qualified as an all-around competitor, Kellerman earned spots in both vault and bars and Ortiz will compete on floor.

🔼 In the Pros. We have an updated list for Michigan State baseball players who are currently in professional baseball! Check it out here.

🔼 Game Cancelled. The baseball game against Western Michigan on Wednesday was cancelled due to inclement weather. LMCU Ballpark will automatically issue refunds to anyone who purchased tickets, and these refunds will be visible in 3-5 business days, depending on the recipient's banking institution. No make-up date has been announced.

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 New Mic’d Up. Get an inside look at football spring practice with Coach Woods!
