veteran Spartan depth back with old-school toughness
In the 2010 season, Michigan State’s David Spears was a depth running back who did not see game action, but his profile still screams reliable, physical depth: a 5-foot-10, 203-pound in-state product from Muskegon who once rushed for nearly 500 yards and 8 touchdowns as a high school senior. The differentiator here is pedigree plus grit, not flash—he was described as a walk-on who added depth and even earned scout-team recognition, which suggests a grinder coaches can trust in the room.
