Brian Lewerke is a legit dark horse Heisman contender

In his tenure as Michigan State football coach, Mark Dantonio has seen some great quarterbacks come and go.

Drew Stanton, Brian Hoyer, Kirk Cousins and Connor Cook have their names all over the MSU record book and will be remembered as Spartan greats.

However, Dantonio’s best quarterback ever might be under center in 2018. After sitting out much of the 2016 season with a leg injury, Brian Lewerke burst onto scene last year, throwing for 2,793 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 559 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
