— As Florida and other parts of the Southeast begin cleanup after Hurricane Irma, a handful of Michigan State players are preparing to head to Houston later this week to aid in the recovery efforts in Texas after Hurricane Harvey hit more than a week ago.

Without a game this weekend, it offers the perfect opportunity for the Spartans to give back. And it happens to be in a city that his home to sophomores Darrell Stewart and Tyler Higby, as well as wide receivers coach Terrence Samuel.

The families of all three made it through the storm relatively unscathed and, after the Spartans defeated Western Michigan on Saturday, Stewart talked about what it meant to him that so many of his teammates were willing to join in and help.
