Jacoby Windmon spoke to the media after practice on Monday:
Jacoby Windmon was a star transfer get for Michigan State a year ago. The UNLV transfer was set to play both defensive end and linebacker for MSU in 2022, and did a good job at it.

That all came crashing to a halt after Windmon was involved in the unfortunate tunnel incident in Ann Arbor, that brought his season to an early end. Now, Windmon is looking to redeem himself, coming back to East Lansing for one more final season, looking to make a positive mark on the Spartan football program.
Windmon spoke to the media on Monday, the first time he has since the tunnel incident, and talked all things himself and the program:
