Every week during the regular season, Jonathan Smith and Michigan State football have made it a point to name one honorary captain to join the regular captains on the field for the coin toss.
The honorary captain in Week 1 was starting safety Armorion Smith. While he was relatively quiet in the opener, he delivered with a big defensive play in the second overtime that stopped a 2-point conversion attempt by Boston College. He also recovered a fumble in the first half while the Eagles were driving.
To keep the tradition going, Smith has named his Week 3 honorary captain ahead of the Youngstown State game.
