The Spartans are set to begin their first full season under Smith in the fall, but wide receivers coach Courtney Hawkins has remained with the new coaching staff and has a long history at Michigan.
Taplin isn’t expected to join the Spartans until 2025, but while the receiver completes his senior year of high school, Michigan State will begin its season at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, against Florida Atlantic at Spartan Stadium.
