East Lansing — Mel Tucker has turned to another familiar name as he continues to fill out his Michigan State coaching staff.
On Wednesday, Tucker hired former Spartans wide receiver Courtney Hawkins to coach wide receivers at Michigan State. It’s a big move for Hawkins, who has been the head coach at his alma mater, Flint Beecher, since 2006, as well as serving as athletic director.
“Courtney Hawkins was a phenomenal player here at Michigan State who went on to have a very successful career in the NFL,” Tucker in a statement.
