Nick Sanders, son of Barry Sanders, makes Michigan State basketball roster

Barry Sanders' son is on the Michigan State basketball roster for the 2022-23 season.

Nick Sanders, who played at Detroit Country Day, is a walk-on for coach Tom Izzo's Spartans.

Sanders, who will wear his father's number 20 in green and white, is listed as a 5-foot-9, 170-pound guard from Franklin.

He'll be behind a plethora of talented returning guards, including Tyson Walker, A.J. Hoggard and Jaden Akins, for an MSU team that went 23-13 and made the second round of the NCAA tournament, falling to eventual national runner-up Duke.
