Taking home the Up Front Award in 2018, which is given to Michigan State’s top offensive lineman, might seem like a big deal for Tyler Higby, but when the unit was as big a disaster as it was, the honor is taken with a grain of salt.
Some may even be surprised to see that he was listed as the Spartans’ best offensive lineman in 2018, especially since he had such a rough junior campaign. He was constantly getting beat off the ball and the staff couldn’t find a set spot for him on the offensive line from center to guard to even left tackle.
