GRAVELY ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“One of the reasons why I chose MSU is because the entire staff and the players made me feel like I’m a part of something bigger than just a football team. They made me feel like I’m a part of a brotherhood and family.”
COACH TUCKER ON GRAVELY:
"Michael is long and athletic; he’s instinctive, tough, physical and fast. He’s got a very smooth change of direction, and he can effortlessly turn and run with defenders in man coverage and not panic with his back to the ball. He’s a strong, physical wrap tackler that doesn’t back down from contact."
