Michigan State football veteran OL tasked with stepping up in big role

Michigan State football has suffered two pivotal injuries to the offensive line. Kris Phillips, the starting right guard, suffered a season ending injury in the team’s opener against Florida Atlantic. In the Spartans week three game against Prairie View A&M, backup right guard Gavin Broscious suffered what seemed to be a season ending injury, having been carted off the field in the game.

Now, the Spartans are going to turn to a fifth year senior to fill the void.

Dallas Fincher, a legacy at Michigan State, was a high 3-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. Although highly touted from Grand Rapids, the offensive lineman’s career has not amounted to what was expected, and Fincher has failed to crack the starting rotation.

With the injuries to both Phillips and Broscious, it is now up to Fincher to fill the void at the starting right guard spot.

Michigan State’s offensive line has struggled to start the 2024 season, and while Fincher was not tabbed out of camp to be a starter, his veteran presence will need to be pivotal in the success the unit has going forward.
