WR Bryson Williams (Fr.)
All the way on the left is freshman wide receiver Bryson Williams. He hasn't appeared in a game yet at Michigan State, but was a promising recruit coming out of high school.
Williams is from Canton, Michigan and attended Orchard Lake St. Mary's. As a recruit, he ranked 1,042nd on the Rivals Industry Ranking and was 20th in the state of Michigan. Some of his other notable offers came from Penn State, Pitt, Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota.
WR Atticus Carridine (R-So.)
Carridine gets recognized now prior to Week 3 after switching from quarterback to receiver during the spring. He is out of Ypsilanti and joined the team as a walk-on.
LB Chris Piwowarczyk (R-Fr.)
Piwowarczyk is a preferred walk-on that redshirted last year. His father, Chris, was a four-year letterwinner at MSU, playing center for George Perles from 1988-91.
DB Dorian Davis (R-Jr.)
Davis hasn't been able to get into a game this year, but he appeared in five games last season. He played a total of 42 snaps.
He is also from Detroit and attended Woodhaven High School.
DB Evan Young (Fr.)
Young is a true freshman that also hasn't been able to reach the field during a game yet. He hails from Lufkin, Texas and was ranked 950th overall for the class of 2025 in the Rivals Industry Rankings.
OL Antonio Johnson (Fr.)
The final player named here is true freshman offensive lineman Antonio Johnson. He also is from Orchard Lake St. Mary's, just like Williams.
As a recruit on the Rivals Industry Rankings, Johnson ranked 1,529th overall and was 28th in the state of Michigan.
