Depth Piece: Aidan Boehle Joins the Lineup
After stints at Winona State and Harding, EDGE Aidan Boehle became Michigan State’s final transfer portal commit. He played five games last season with 2.0 sacks, giving MSU some rotational beef off the edge.
Is Boehle the secret weapon Pat Fitzgerald has been hiding under his Spartan helmet? Probably not, but he’s exactly the kind of mystery meat that makes coaches grin: raw, unpolished, and perfect for filling up the stat sheet when the starters need a breather. If he can sack air like he sacked Big II quarterbacks, watch out NFL scouts—even if they do ask, “Who?”
Late-Blooming WR: Jameel Gardner Jr.’s Final Call
Jackson State’s WR3 last season, Jameel Gardner Jr. pulled down 483 yards in 2025. After a spring visit, he committed late to Michigan State, slotting in as depth at wideout behind established options.
Nothing says “spare change” like a late signing who goes from WR3 at Jackson to WR10 at MSU. But fret not: Gardner’s uncanny ability to catch passes when no one else is around is exactly what you’d want on fourth-and-ten, right? He’s perfect for those moments when no one’s watching TV and the stadium’s half empty.
Depth Piece: Trevaughn Martinez Fills the Backfield
Brother of starter Nikai, Trevaughn Martinez arrives from Western Carolina with zero game action in three seasons. His injury history casts doubt, but he provides body count depth in the secondary.
Martinez is here for one reason: roster headcount. If he does anything else—like play a snap or stay healthy—consider it a bonus gift to Spartan Nation. Worst case, he can wave the towel on special teams and remind fans what humility feels like.
Backup Punter Alex Weeks Earns a Roster Spot
Northern Arizona’s one-game kickoff specialist, Alex Weeks joins MSU as a backup punter. He saw minimal action as a true freshman, now lurking behind starter Rhys Dakin.
Weeks is the insurance policy you buy when you’re sure nothing will go wrong—until it does. Expect him to shine in training camp highlights and disappear when the cameras roll on fall Saturdays. A true freshman can dream of awkward, high-spiraling punts that bounce out of bounds, right?
