Michigan State’s running back room just got a legit upgrade with the addition of Marvis Parrish, a true sophomore from Western Kentucky who’s already proving he can dominate both on the ground and through the air. With 576 rushing yards and over 200 receiving yards last season, Parrish brings versatility the Spartans desperately need — especially with a new OC who’s known to lean into the passing game out of the backfield. He’s poised to battle for the No. 2 spot behind Tullis, joining a deep room that also includes Cam Edwards and Jaziun Patterson. With his speed, hands, and remaining four years of eligibility, Parrish could be the breakout star of the 2026 season.

Michigan State’s president Kevin Guskiewicz is staying put, defying expectations and offering stability after years of leadership upheaval. Meanwhile, AD J Batt is departing for Kentucky, leaving a critical vacancy — and Mark Hollis, the legendary former AD who was unfairly scapegoated during the Nassar scandal, is the top name emerging. With Guskiewicz now in charge, the board has a golden opportunity to make amends: fully compensate Hollis, offer him a long-term deal, and restore trust — turning a painful past into a powerful comeback for Spartan athletics.

Michigan State’s president, Kevin Guskiewicz, has officially confirmed he’s staying in East Lansing, putting an end to rumors of a move to Clemson. In a heartfelt message, Guskiewicz apologized for the uncertainty his potential departure caused and pledged to rebuild trust through consistent action, transparency, and daily purpose.
