Michigan State football has seen a nice influx of talent from Oregon State follow their former head coach Jonathan Smith over from Corvallis, and that was the case this past offseason, yet again, when former Beaver offensive guard Luka Vincic committed to transfer to the Spartans.
Now, Vincic is fighting for a starting spot in training camp. On Thursday, Vincic was able to speak to the media after practice, and he was asked an interesting question. Vincic was asked why he decided to transfer, and if he had Michigan State in mind when he made his decision. He gave an insightful answer:
I just felt like… That’s a good question. I personally felt like I wanted to be pushed a little bit more. We had a lot of change at Oregon State and the conference and the coaching staff. Nothing against them, they have a great coaching staff… Nothing against them, I was just hoping to be pushed a little bit more, and I knew that when I entered the portal, I was hoping Michigan State would give me a ring, and thankfully they did, and now I’m getting to play for Coach M again and I feel like I’m getting pushed and I’m getting a lot better.
