Michigan State football short on offensive tackles; QB Rocky Lombardi likely to start

EAST LANSING — It appears Rocky Lombardi will be Michigan State football’s starting quarterback.

His offensive line will be a few bodies short at tackle.

Three expected contributors from the final depth chart in 2019 — Luke Campbell, Devontae Dobbs and Mustapha Khaleefah — are among those not in uniform for Saturday’s game against Rutgers to begin the Mel Tucker era.

Khaleefah was the No. 2 left tackle at the end of last season, while redshirt freshman Dobbs played four games last season and was No. 2 at tackle for the Pinstsripe Bowl but did dnot play.
