Michigan State Football: 5 upperclassmen who need to step up in 2019

When you take a look at Michigan State’s roster heading into the 2019 season, you begin to notice a trend. There are a number of upperclassmen with untapped potential who, if they finally realize it and live up to the hype, could become stars and even legends, depending on how Michigan State finishes the season.

Just look at a guy like Aaron Burbridge in 2015. For years he sat behind some star wide outs and even in his junior season, he watched Tony Lippett win the Big Ten Receiver of the Year award, but he never truly broke out in his own right despite being a four-star recruit.
