With all the benefots of the MSU football program I've listed, it it no surpise that the Spartans have produced top collegiate players. The best of these players in recent years is arguably Darqueze Dennard. Dennard came ouit of Geprgia as a lowly recruit, but finished the year with 1st Team All Big Ten, 1st Team All American, Big Ten DEfensive MVP, Jim Thorpe award winner and a Nagurski finalist. He was also recently selected in the first rounf of te NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Max Bullough was a three year captain at Michigan State as he patrolled the middle of the defense.

Max received the honor of First Team All Big Ten, Third Team All AMerican and First Team All Academic HoNors. He was picked up by the Houstan Texans.
