The 2024 NFL draft is over and only one Michigan State player’s name was called in Detroit.

Fifth-year senior center Nick Samac was taken by the Baltimore Ravens with the eighth pick of the seventh round, No. 228 overall, on Saturday.

Samac was the lone Spartan invited to the NFL Scouting Combine and unable to participate in on-field drills while still recovering from a broken fibula sustained in a Nov. 18 win at Indiana.

The injury didn’t prevent Samac’s name being called on Saturday and meant Michigan State didn’t get shut out in the draft for the second time in three years. The Spartans’ streak of 80 straight drafts with at least one player selected ended in 2021 before they had seven players picked over the previous two drafts combined.

Samac was the only Spartan drafted this year but there were nine others from last season’s roster who participated in the program’s pro day in March in offensive lineman J.D. Duplain, linebackers Aaron Brule and Jacoby Windmon, tight end Jaylan Franklin, running back Harold Joiner, defensive back Chester Kimbrough, wide receiver Tre Mosley, defensive tackle Jalen Sami and defensive end Brandon Wright.

They’ll be looking to sign as undrafted free agents and here’s a roundup of Michigan State players with a shot in the NFL:

Jacoby Windmon, LB

Team: Steelers

Windmon’s final season of college was cut even shorter than Samac’s. The linebacker who spent three seasons at UNLV and the last two at Michigan State suffered a pectoral injury in Week 3 that sidelined him for the rest of the fall. It was the second straight season that ended abruptly for Windmon, who was suspended for the final four games the year before due to his involvement in the tunnel incident at Michigan.

After being a highly-productive player at UNLV, Windmon, 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, made an early splash at Michigan State. He became the first player in program history named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week three times in one year. Even though Windmon played only eight games in 2022, he led the nation with six forced fumbles and topped the Spartans with 10.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks.

By appearing in only three games last year, Windmon had an additional season of eligibility remaining. He entered the portal in December and declared for the draft less than a month later.

Tre Mosley, WR

Team: Bengals

As a Pontiac native, Mosley would have been thrilled to hear his name called on stage in Detroit but had to settle for the next-best route. He’s another productive veteran whose final season of college was cut short as he missed the final four games last year because of shoulder injuries.

Mosley, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, made 28 starts in 43 career games over five seasons for the Spartans. He finished with 126 catches for 1,464 yards and 10 touchdowns.

A former standout from West Bloomfield High School, Mosley cracked the lineup as a true freshman and was a reliable pass catcher who excelled while lining up alongside future NFL draft picks at receiver. The Spartans didn’t have one last year and he struggled with injuries in an ugly season all around for the team.

Michigan football’s top pass rusher from the 2023 championship squad is off to the NFL.

Former Wolverine pass rusher Jaylen Harrell was drafted by the Tennessee Titans at No. 252 overall in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL draft in Detroit.

Harrell is the latest Michigan player drafted as the Wolverines continue to send players from the stacked 2023 roster to the NFL.

He was a prolific pass rusher for the Wolverines after emerging as a full-time starter in his final two seasons in Ann Arbor. As a senior in 2023, Harrell received his second All-Big Ten honorable mention honor after finishing nine tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks (both are team-highs), with two forced fumbles and 31 tackles.

Harrell became a full-time starter at defensive end in 2022 after spending his first two seasons as a rotational player on the defensive line and special teams. Harrell finished with 11 career sacks and 20 career tackles for loss and can stop the run along with rushing the passer off the edge.

He received an 8.42 RAS (relative athletic score) based on his testing at the NFL combine in March, where he measured at 6 feet 4 and 250 pounds, running a 5.68 40-yard dash with a 37-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 1-inch broad jump.

Harrell, a native of Tampa, Florida, detailed his journey from college to the pros in a series of journals for the Free Press. He explained the workouts, from the Senior Bowl to individual ones with teams like the Detroit Lions, the combine and pro day, as well as his emotions going from a national championship to becoming a professional.
