Four more Michigan State football players have been suspended after a heated altercation with the Michigan football team Saturday in Ann Arbor.
In a statement Sunday night, the Spartans announced they had suspended Tank Brown, Khary Crump, Angelo Grose and Zion Young, effective immediately. Malcolm Jones, Justin White, Jacoby Windmon and Brandon Wright have since been added to the suspensions after team officials continue to look at “the disturbing electronic evidence collected to date of the altercations.”
“Michigan State University athletics and the football program are committed to the highest level of sportsmanship. As we continue to gather and review electronic evidence of the altercations between Michigan State and University of Michigan student-athletes on October 29, 2022, we are suspending student-athletes Malcolm Jones, Justin White, Jacoby Windmon and Brandon Wright. The suspensions are effective immediately.
“We are transparently working with law enforcement and the Big Ten Conference to evaluate additional facts and evidence surrounding the events in Ann Arbor. We will continue to take appropriate action in this matter as we learn more. The student-athlete suspensions will remain in place until the investigations are completed.
“The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, personnel and the Spartan community is our number one priority. Thank you for your continued collaboration and support as we move forward.”
Jim Harbaugh expects the four suspended Michigan State football players involved in roughing up two members of Michigan’s team to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
