Practice Report / Players Leave Squad

I'm trying to play catch up here with the news, so I have to throw a couple stories into one headline.

Above is a link to an article that talks about the departure of two veteran Bobcats, CB Eddie Smith and FB Elliot Grant. Smith graduated last spring, and had a job offer he could not pass up. The often injured Smith was never fully healthy at MSU. Grant also retired due to injuries, planning ahead for his future after football. Bobcat to be Bubba Pugh will not be joining the team for academic reasons as well.
