The work on retooling the roster is never-ending for Michigan State coach Mel Tucker.
After finishing 2-5 in his first season leading the Spartans, Tucker has been busy overhauling things inside the program as 15 players have left via the transfer portal, five players have come in following the same path and the new members of the 2021 recruiting class are starting to arrive on campus.
And on Thursday, Tucker confirmed the Spartans would be getting another year out of veteran offensive lineman Matt Allen, who missed all but two games in 2020 because of an injury but will be back for a sixth season.
