A familiar face was back at Michigan State football practice this week as Ken Mannie paid Jonathan Smith's Spartans a visit and spoke to the team.
It was great to see Mannie back on campus after being retired since February of 2020. He decided to call it a career after spending 25 years at the position, and when Mark Dantonio retired following the 2019 season, he followed suit. Since then, we haven't heard much from the Spartan legend, but he appeared at practice this week, much to everyone's surprise.
Mannie has seen it all through the years, from disappointing seasons in East Lansing to the highest of highs during the Dantonio era.
