On Wednesday, Tom Izzo met with the media to recap the season along with the early offseason. While the press conference was loaded with some interesting comments about the players who are leaving Michigan State, he did leave the door open for one player who could still potentially come back.

Last year, Michigan State football faced a sneakily important loss when starting long snapper Kaden Schickel went down with an injury. The Spartans turned to redshirt sophomore Jack Carson-Wentz to fill that void in the last four games of the season, to some mixed results, to put it kindly.
