Barely a year after Ben VanSumeren ditched the Michigan football program and joined rival Michigan State, he's on the verge of leaving the Spartans.
On Monday, the MSU linebacker entered the transfer portal for the second time in his career. VanSumeren made the unusual move from Ann Arbor to East Lansing in February 2021 before appearing in all 13 MSU games this past season.
The Bay City native played 256 snaps on defense and special teams in 2021, when he collected 12 tackles as a reserve. In December, the Spartans acquired a pair of inside linebackers via the transfer portal, which clouded VanSumeren's future in East Lansing.
