Day joined the program in 2017, playing 2 games in his first year and redshirting. He would play 48 games over the next 4 seasons.
Day, who graduated in December 2020, had the option to return for a sixth year of college football due to the NCAA’s COVID waiver. Due to the pandemic, the NCAA did not count the 2020 season against athletes’ 4 seasons of eligibility in a 5-year window.
Day’s decision doesn’t come as a surprise. The Brentwood, Tennessee native took part in MSU’s Senior Day this season.
Andrew writes about sports to fund his love of live music and collection of concert posters. He strongly endorses the Hall of Fame campaigns of Fred Taylor and Andruw Jones.
