Michigan State football has its first early departure for the NFL of the Mel Tucker era.
Junior cornerback Shakur Brown announced Monday night via Twitter that he plans to forgo his remaining eligibility for the 2021 NFL draft.
“ i’ve grown so much as a player and a person during my time at Michigan State,” Brown wrote. “The lessons I’ve learned both on and off the field, have built a solid foundation for success and will stay with me for the rest of my life.”
Brown leads the Spartans and is among the Big Ten and national leaders with five interceptions this season.
