Four Michigan State seniors - running back Jehuu Caulcrick, offensive tackle Pete Clifford, strong safety Travis Key and linebacker Kaleb Thornhill - have been elected to serve as captains for the 2007 season. Following a nomination process, members of the team and coaching staff submitted final ballots on Wednesday, Aug. 22. First-year head coach Mark Dantonio formally introduced the team captains at the Spartan Spirit Pep Rally for incoming freshmen on Thursday, Aug. 23.
"All four guys bring unique leadership styles to the table," Coach Dantonio said. "In addition to being solid football players, all four of these guys are good students. In fact, Pete Clifford and Travis Key have already graduated, and Jehuu Caulcrick and Kaleb Thornhill will soon complete their undergraduate degrees."
