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.

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow enters NCAA Transfer Portal

LB Darius Snow has entered the transfer portal:

Spartan fans learned on Monday morning that linebacker Darius Snow was leaving the program, heading to the NCAA Transfer Portal. Snow ends his tenure at Michigan State with 98 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and an interception.

Unfortunately, a devastating leg injury against Western Michigan derailed Snow’s career, making him miss the 2022 season, and not being able to comeback until week three this season.

Snow will be looking for a fresh start, at a place he can make an impact on the field, showcasing his skills.

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow teases long-awaited return from injury

Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow teases long-awaited return from injury

Heading into last season, Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow, who was a converted defensive back, had a ton of hype as a mobile linebacker who could be the coverage specialist that is lacking from Cal Haladay and Jacoby Windmon. That hype wasn’t able to come to fruition last year, as Snow suffered a season-ending injury in the season-opener against Western Michigan.

Now, it looks like there finally might be some Snow on the forecast in East Lansing, as the Spartan linebacker posted a simple message on Twitter on Friday before MSU’s game against Washington: ‘It’s time.’

Read into that what you will, but this would be a major return for MSU, as Snow could provide a huge help for them in coverage against one of the best passing attacks in the country.

Reports: MSU football LB Darius Snow very close to returning

A return could be looming for MSU LB Darius Snow

Michigan State has been without linebacker Darius Snow since the season opener a year ago against Western Michigan. Snow suffered a leg injury and has not returned to the field. Now, it appears the Spartans could be getting their skilled linebacker back.

While Snow will not play in the Spartans’ matchup with Richmond, reports indicate Snow will go through full warmups with the team. That means a return could be on the horizon.

Adding Snow into the fold for MSU’s big contest with Washington next week would be a huge boost for the Spartans.

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow’s message after newsworthy day for MSU: ‘Relax’

Michigan State football LB Darius Snow’s message after newsworthy day for MSU: ‘Relax’

After an interesting, news-filled day for Michigan State football that left some panicking on social media, Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow had a simple message for everyone: “Relax.”

Spartan starters Charles Brantley, Payton Thorne and Keon Coleman entered the NCAA transfer portal on Sunday on the last day of the spring period.

While it was certainly surprising, this kind of news has become the new normal in college sports, especially for players who are at serious risk of being passed on the depth chart by younger players (Brantley and Thorne), or if you have the opportunity to make life-changing levels of NIL money at a school such as LSU or USC (Coleman).

The good news is Michigan State has much better depth at all three positions than a few years ago thanks to the strong recruiting of Mel Tucker and his staff, so I think I agree with Darius Snow on this one.

Darius Snow, the son of MSU basketball great Eric Snow, has used social media to show off his stellar graphic design skills. It is obvious Snow has a passion for the art.

With the new NIL rules allowing players to expand their brands in order to make money, Snow is getting creative in his use of the new rules.

Snow will be launching his own apparel brand, named ‘The Dawg Outlet’, highlighting his graphic design skills in the clothing.

Darius Snow has big things planned both on and off the field, it seems.
