Lansing – Michigan State defensive end Kenny Willekes, recovering from a broken leg suffered in the bowl game, likely will miss spring practice.
MSU coach Mark Dantonio, who spoke Friday morning to the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association during its clinic at the Lansing Radisson, said Willekes “probably” will miss spring practice.
“It’s a 12-week deal,” Dantonio said, referring to the recovery time.
Willekes, an All-American and the Big Ten’s top defensive lineman last season, broke his left fibula in the second half of the Redbox Bowl. He arrived at MSU as a preferred walk-on and during the regular season earned the Big Ten award after recording 76 tackles — 20.
