EAST LANSING — Much of the buzz with Michigan State football’s incoming freshman class has revolved around Devontae Dobbs since the former Belleville High star committed to Mark Dantonio in June 2018.

But Dobbs, who did not arrive until this summer, has company – and competition for immediate playing time.
