WATCH: MSU wide receivers securing highlight catches during practice

Michigan State will need a number of new guys to step up at wide receiver this fall to make up for lost production from last year

Entering the season, one of the biggest question marks for Michigan State football will be the wide receivers. A clip released from practice on Wednesday suggests that position group may be better than we think.

The official Michigan State football social media account released a short video clip on Wednesday showcasing multiple wide receivers making nice catches in practice. Tre Mosley, Christian Fitzpatrick, Aziah Johnson and Sebastian Brown were all seen in the short clip.

Michigan State lost its top two wide receivers from last year’s team and return only one receiver — Mosley — who had more than 100 yards in receiving last year. So it’s definitely going to be a lot of new faces getting an opportunity to stand out this fall.
