Michigan State men’s lacrosse lives on as a brotherhood
EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Title IX forced Michigan State men’s lacrosse to disband 2 years ago as a varsity sport. The program still lives on, though, as a club sport at the university.
On Monday morning, Michigan State was in Texas competing for a National Club Championship. A big reason the Spartans had such a successful season was due to the team chemistry with the squad.
MSU senior defenseman Blake Wohlwend says the bond is unlike any other.
“We have a brotherhood. Everyone on this team. We’ve got each other’s backs. I would die for any of these guys on this team, and they would do the same thing for me,” said Wohlwend.
Michigan State head coach Matt Holtz has been in his role since 2020 and returned to MSU after bouncing around to a few different schools along the way. Holtz and his staff mostly assemble the team, with kids reaching out with tapes of them playing. Then tryouts happen every fall, and the team is cut down to around 45 players.
No. 16 Michigan State lost to No. 1 BYU 19-4 on Monday, ending the Spartan season in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Following a hit-and-run collision in Watertown Township, two adults and a kid have died.
The collision occurred close to Corrison and Wacousta Roads. A female driver from Gratiot County struck 11 people in all while they were making their way to their grandparents’ home, according to law enforcement, which they confirmed to News 10.
According to the police, the woman who struck the gathering of individuals left the scene but was later found and placed under arrest. Police believe alcohol played a role, as reported by WILX. Due to an ongoing investigation, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has closed the route overnight, the website reported.
The suspect who reportedly fled the scene was later apprehended and detained, as per Fox 47 News.

2025 four-star OL Michael Carroll includes Michigan in top 4
We’ve seen the Michigan Wolverines prioritize smash football and target talented offensive line in Sherrone Moore’s first off-season as head coach, and a top target for Michigan just included the reigning National Champs in his top 4.
On Saturday afternoon, On3 National recruiting expert Hayes Fawcett reported that Michigan was in the top 4 for four-star 2025 offensive linemen Michael Carroll, along with Penn State, Georgia and Alabama.
On the 247 Composite, Carroll, a native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is ranked just outside the top 200 in the 2025 class, along with 11th among interior offensive linemen and eighth among recruits from his home state.
Carroll made an impromptu visit to Michigan this past Fall the day after the Michigan State win, and he got the chance to meet head coach Sherrone Moore and offensive line coach Grant Newsome in a recent spring visit. If the four-star linemen were to commit to Michigan, he’d be the second O-Line commit in the class, joining four-star in-state OL Avery Gach.
Carroll’s interest in Michigan is not a surprise, considering the Wolverines have garnered a reputation as being a place for young offensive linemen to develop into NFL players, all while dominating in the trenches en route to a ton of success over the last three seasons.
“They were completely dominant,” Carroll said about Michigan after that visit. “They were extremely explosive and powerful out of their stances. When I was at Michigan’s camp, that’s one thing coach Moore taught me. Seeing them do it was special. I could see myself fitting in there as a guard.”
Carroll said an interview with The Wolverine last month ($) that Michigan is “up there with Alabama, Georgia and a couple of others right now.” There’s not a clear timeline for when he’ll make a decision, but we’ll keep you updated as his recruitment continues.
