Michigan State is missing two key contributors on its spring roster.
The Spartans began spring practice on Tuesday and both wide receiver Macgarrett Kings and running back Delton Williams were not listed. Each player was involved in legal issues over the offseason.
"Anybody not on the depth chart is sort of in limbo," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said Tuesday via SpartanMag.com. "That's the best way to say it right now. We're day-to-day on a lot of guys."
Dantonio failed to go any further about either player on a follow-up question.
Kings was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors after he was arrested on Feb. 28 for an alcohol-related incident that allegedly involved kicking an East Lansing parking vehicle. He was arrested in 2014 for DUI and OWI and missed the rest of spring practice after that arrest. He was sentenced to 13 months probation in a plea deal and had 29 catches in 2014.
Michigan State WR coach Terrance Samuel spoke about Kings Monday afternoon on Lansing's 92.1 FM. From MLive.com:
"Macgarrett is dealing with some personal things that he's got to take care of,'' Samuel said. "The thing we have to do as a family here is to make sure that we walk him through all that stuff and give him the support that he needs.
"So we're going to support him and try to get him through it. That's what my job is, never second-guess the kid and what he's going through.''
Williams, a possible starter at RB for the Spartans in 2015, was arrested last week and charged with brandishing a firearm, also a misdemeanor. He was reportedly involved in a road rage incident on campus. In 2014, he was Michigan State's No. 3 rusher with 326 yards.
