Spartans LB Darius Snow withdraws from transfer portal, to return MSU

A fan favorite Spartan has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State

A fan favorite Spartan has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State.

Linebacker Darius Snow announced on Wednesday night that he’s decided to withdraw his name from the transfer portal and return to Michigan State for next season. Snow entered the transfer portal shortly after the season ended but after meeting with the new coaching staff has decided to return.

Snow came on strong as a sophomore and key contributor for the Spartans defense during the 2021 season when Michigan State reached the Peach Bowl. He was expected to be an important piece to the Spartans’ defense last year but a season-ending injury in the opening game derailed that and in 2023 he was still recovering from that injury — appearing in only four games.

The return of Snow is a positive for the new coaching staff since he is considered one of the leaders on the defense. If he can return to relative full strength next season, he’ll certainly be a key contributor again.
