Michigan State safety signing UDFA deal with Washington Commanders
One of Michigan State football's leaders for the last few years has found a landing spot in the NFL. MSU safety Malik Spencer will be joining Michigan State center in the nation's capital, signing with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent. We knew that there was interest in Spencer from the NFL clubs, as the Patriots hosted him for a 30 visit before the NFL Draft.
Instead, it was the Commanders who swooped in and grabbed the former Spartan. Spencer was a four-year letterwinner with MSU and started in 29 games at safety, recording 173 career tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, and two interceptions. The Commanders must have had some scouts around the MSU program, as they also used draft capital to bring in center Matt Gulbin , and now will add Spencer to their defense.
