Michigan State football loses talented WR that fans were hoping to retain

And just like that, the Michigan State football receiver room is looking pretty bare.

On Wednesday afternoon, Michigan State lost a fan favorite wide receiver that many were hoping would return under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald and retained receivers coach Courtney Hawkins.

After a fairly modest junior season with Michigan State after transferring in from Kent State, Chrishon “Big Play” McCray is back in the portal.
