McDonald moving into leadership role (w/ video)

EAST LANSING — Ever since he arrived at MSU, Chris McDonald has looked up to fellow offensive guard Joel Foreman for leadership.

But next season, Foreman will be gone to graduation, and the Sterling Heights native McDonald will be the dean of the MSU offensive line. A week ago, the team captain Foreman brought up the idea of McDonald being a captain next season.

Pickelman likely out for Outback Bowl

Joe Rexrode pointed it out today: senior defensive tackle Kevin Pickelman is not listed on the Outback Bowl depth chart. Pickelman suffered an injury in the middle of the Big Ten Championship and did not return.

It's a real shame, as Pickelman was getting some looks from NFL scouts. Let's hope the injury doesn't affect his professional potential.

Anthony Rashad White is listed as the starter at nose tackle, while Micajah Reynolds is listed as the backup.
