Over the last two years of the Mark Dantonio era, one common narrative throughout that time was the immense amount of injuries to the offensive line. One of those linemen who was consistently out was offensive tackle Cole Chewins, who missed all of last season with a back injury. In November, Chewins indicated that he would pursue a sixth year at MSU however, after not appearing on the latest Spring football roster, a spokesman for the team said that Chewins is no longer pursuing football.

Chewins, a product of Clarkston, Michigan, started 25 out of 37 played games. Chewins’ injury issues started in 2017 where he missed much of the first five games that year but still was able to finish the last seven games of the season. Chewins missed last year’s spring game due to the back injury and was never able to start another game for MSU.

“If possible, I’d love to come back and be a part of Michigan State again for another year to kind of really fulfill my senior year type deal,” Chewins said back in November, “as long as I’m healthy and everything was meant to be.”
