MSU’s four captains this week are redshirt senior wide receiver Jayden Reed, fifth-year senior tight end Daniel Barker, fifth-year senior safety Xavier Henderson and junior running back Jordon Simmons.
Reed has 390 receiving yards so far on the season. He also has three touchdowns: against Ohio State, Maryland and Wisconsin. Henderson showed tremendous team leadership after the team’s loss against Michigan last weekend, in which several players were involved in a scuffle in the tunnel.
