Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes thanked the university in a letter in the school's student paper.
Waynes' letter was posted late Tuesday night to The State News' website. Here's an excerpt below. You can click the link for the full letter.
The Spartan experience was so special because of my teammates — past and present. We gave our blood, sweat and tears to this program and, as a team, we certainly lived up to the high standards of Michigan State football. A special “shoutout” to former and current members of the “No Fly Zone” for setting such a high bar for me as a cornerback. Finally, thank you to the “Boyz” — and you know who you are. The mutual support we enjoyed on and off the field helped mold each one of us, and our friendships will continue long beyond Michigan State.
Thank you to our entire coaching staff as well as the trainers, managers and football operations staff, all of whom made valuable contributions to our football team’s success. We had a fantastic team at Michigan State and all of you helped me develop as a football player. I will miss seeing all of you on a daily basis.
In 13 games last season, Waynes had 46 tackles and three interceptions and was a junior in 2014. He's considered one of the better cornerbacks eligible for the 2015 NFL draft and will likely be an early round selection.
