Senior Jacub Panasiuk was set to play a big role for Michigan State Football this season, but injuries kept him from developing a rhythm, and his absence was especially noticed during the last game of the season against Penn State. On Saturday, Panasiuk strongly implicated on social media that he would be using his COVID-19 eligibility waiver to return for a second senior season with the Spartans.

Here is his announcement, where he noted a date of Oct. 16 and said he has some ‘unfinished business’ to take care of. That’s the date when MSU is set to play Michigan:

Panasiuk originally opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns before deciding to return. He is one of MSU’s top pass rushers and will be a welcome face returning to a defensive line unit that just lost Naquan Jones to the NFL Draft.
