Michigan State football loses DT Kyle King to portal, S Michael Dowell to Pitt

Another Michigan State football player entered the transfer portal.

Defensive tackle Kyle King became the latest to do so Friday night, hours after the 10th-ranked Spartans’ 31-21 win over No. 12 Pitt in the Peach Bowl.

The 6-foot-3, 270-pound redshirt freshman from Greenfield, Indiana, was in on the Panthers’ final possession and chased quarterback Davis Beville on the play before Cal Haladay’s game-clinching interception return for a touchdown.

King had four tackles in seven games this season. He got two stops in the opener at Northwestern, picked up his only sack against Maryland and made two of his three pass breakups in the win at Miami (Florida).
