With Raequan Williams and Mike Panasiuk gone from the interior, Michigan State football will need Naquan Jones to be “that dude” in 2020.

For years, Naquan Jones has been waiting for his shot. He came in with a lauded 2016 recruiting class, especially on the defensive line, but redshirted in 2016 while the rest of his fellow freshmen at the time played extensively.

In 2017, Jones got his first shot, playing in 10 games and recording 13 total tackles as well as five for loss.
