ADDITIONAL SPRING GAME NOTES/GAMEDAY INFORMATION
• Linebackers coach/special teams coordinator Mark Snyder leads the Green coaching staff, while assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett heads the White.
• Prior to the spring game, MSU's coaching staff and players will conduct a free youth football clinic, sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Children, ages 8-12, are invited to attend the youth clinic (no registration required) from 10-11:30 a.m. on the practice fields behind the Duffy Daugherty Football Building, located at the corner of Chestnut Road and Shaw Lane. Clinic participants and their parents are requested to enter the practice fields through the gate on Shaw Lane. Last April, an all-time record 1,200 children participated in the annual youth football clinic.
The purpose of the clinic is to introduce youngsters to the game by stressing fundamentals. No football gear is required. In addition, clinic participants will receive Country Fresh ice cream as well as a coupon for a complimentary hot dog and soft drink to be redeemed at a concession stand in Spartan Stadium during the spring game.
• During Dantonio's tenure, eight different players have earned first-team All-America honors on nine occasions (2008: running back Javon Ringer; 2009-10: linebacker Greg Jones; 2011: defensive tackle Jerel Worthy; 2012: running back Le'Veon Bell; 2013: cornerback Darqueze Dennard and punter Mike Sadler; 2014: center Jack Allen and safety Kurtis Drummond). Those first-team All-Americans will be honored at halftime of the spring game (presented framed jerseys).
