From Prep to Pro!, EST 2001


  Draft Scout by Conference









  The move is official, or as official as it's going to be. As Michigan State opened preseason camp last week, Darius Snow was listed on the roster as a linebacker. The junior started nine games last season - eight at nickelback and one at safety - before spending most of spring practice working with the linebackers. It was more of an experiment then, but as the Spartans prepare for the season opener Sept. 2 at home against Western Michigan, Snow is moving full-speed ahead as a linebacker. The move makes sense as the coaching staff is doing everything it can to make sure Snow is on the field for as many snaps as possible. Just don't put a label on the 6-foot-1, 220-pound nephew of former Michigan State All-American linebacker Percy Snow. "I feel like an athlete," Snow said when asked if he was starting to feel like a linebacker. "I feel like an athlete that's playing linebacker."

Fair enough. And if Snow is producing at the level Mel Tucker and the coaching staff are expecting, then Snow can call himself whatever he wants. It's all part of a move the Spartans feel makes them a better defense after Snow finished third on the team in tackles in 2021 with 87 while adding 5.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery. It's part of Snow's plan, too, to be as valuable as possible to a Michigan State defense that needs a big jump this fall after finishing last in the nation in pass defense a year ago. He's playing primarily on the outside, but has worked some in the middle and can always shift back to the secondary when needed. - Detroit News
