Trannon will sit out of OSU game

Matt TrannonMSU will be without wide receiver Matt Trannon (did you know he played basketball for Tom Izzo?) in this weekend’s game against #1 Ohio State. The good news is that defensive tackle Clifton Ryan, safety Otis Wiley, and linebacker David Herron Jr. will all likely play against the Buckeyes.

Tim Kirby of the Lansing State Journal writes that freshman T.J. Williams will take Trannon’s place in the lineup.

Senior wide receiver Matt Trannon likely will not play on Saturday against Ohio State at Spartan Stadium.

True freshman T.J. Williams will replace Trannon, who was taken off on a cart in the fourth quarter during last Saturday’s 31-13 loss to Michigan with an ankle injury.

“Trannon is probably a week away,” coach John L. Smith said at his press conference Monday. “I would not expect Trannon to be able to go.”
