“I think they’re a group who knows that they can be utilized in the pass game and we know that and (plan on) getting them touches,” Walker said. “I think they’re eager to keep putting the work in and we’re going to find ways to get them the ball.”
That’s created a competitive environment within the group, a mindset encouraged by coaches and cultivated by player accountability.

Returning for his senior season is Ty McCullouch, who transferred to MSU from Colorado State ahead of the 2023 season. McCullouch missed four games due to injury last year, but still led the team with 473 yards and five touchdowns on 25 catches. That includes four catches for 119 yards against Cal Poly and four catches for 125 yards and two TDs against Eastern Washington. He was listed as the starter in the Z spot on the fall camp-opening two-deep.
