Michigan State football incoming freshman wide receiver turning heads at first day of camp
Incoming freshman Braylon Coller with a remarkable expectations for the young kid this season One year ago, it was a young freshman wide receiver by the name of Nick Marsh who stole the show at the opening day of training camp. Even after one day of practice, it was clear that the Spartans had found something special. On Tuesday, Michigan State football once again opened up camp, and once again, there was a freshman wide receiver who stood out. Braylon Collier, a former 3-star wide receiver out of Sandusky, Ohio, was making highlight plays for pretty much the entire media portion of the first day of camp. Collier already looks like a steal and someone who probably should've been ranked much higher and might be in line for a legitimate role this year as a freshman just based off what we saw today, it was that impressive.

Former Spartan James Piot fires an even par third round at the Rocket Classic
The Rocket Classic in Detroit has continued on to the weekend, with players vying for their spots on the leaderboard. After the cut was made on Friday, Detroit Golf Club welcomed golfers in for the third round on Saturday, otherwise known as 'moving day' on the PGA Tour. Of the three former Spartans competing in Detroit's PGA Tour event, only one made the weekend, with James Piot making the cut on the six-under number. On Saturday, Piot was looking to make a move up the leaderboard, but he unfortunately was unable to do so. A two birdie, two bogey day led to a 36-36-72 round for the former Spartan, shooting an even par round. He now sits at T73 on the leaderboard for the tournament. Sunday's fourth and final round will be Piot's last chance to make a move upwards on the leaderboard. He will tee off at 7:34 a.m. in a grouping alongside Ben Kohles.

On Thursday, the Rocket Classic commenced for it seventh edition at the Detroit Golf Club, bringing the PGA Tour back to Detroit.
