DB coach Blue Adams talks Spartans pass defense

DB coach Blue Adams talks Spartans pass defense

Michigan State football is gearing up for one of their biggest tests of the season when they face off against undefeated Indiana on Saturday. It appears that Indiana will get starting QB Kurtis Rourke back after a thumb injury kept him sidelined a week ago.

MSU’s secondary has been much improved in 2024, compared to what fans have seen in the past few years. A lot of that comes from the work Demetrice Martin and Blue Adams have put into the defense.

Ahead of MSU’s huge test with the Hoosiers on Saturday, Blue Adams spoke to the media.

Michigan State football secondary coach comments on junior’s new position

Blue Adams had a good remark about Dillon Tatum’s new position:

Dillon Tatum was a prized four-star recruit for Michigan State football at one time, and now, he is going to be a new cog on the Spartans defense in 2024.

Tatum started as a hybrid linebacker and safety, before moving to cornerback last season. Now, it is expected that Tatum is going to play a new position in the defensive backfield, presumably safety.

When secondary coach Blue Adams spoke to the media on Thursday, he was asked on Tatum’s position, he had a great response.

“I think he is a DB.”

Adams response shows that the Spartans plan to use Tatum in a Swiss-army knife role on their defense which could be beneficial to MSU’s defensive efforts.
