Jarek Broussard

The addition of Broussard is another huge transfer portal win for Michigan State head coach Tucker. The 2020 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year will reunite with his former head coach from Colorado after seeing his production dip as a sophomore in 2021. Broussard averaged 5.7 yards and totaled five touchdowns on 156 rushes during six games as a freshman; but, the 5-foot-9 back carried the ball just 142 times over 11 games with the Buffaloes last season. It is likely that Michigan State will utilize a running-back-by-committee approach to make up for the loss of Doak Walker Award winner Kenneth Walker. Still, Broussard should see enough increased usage to border on 1,000 rushing yards once again.
