During the match between the Spartans and the Wolverines, a tussle between the players occurred. But as things started to settle a bit, Spencer Brown ended up fouling the back of Braiden McGregor’s head. There was no intention of tackling but only violent transgressions as McGregor remained on the field severely injured.
JPA Football highlighted the same on their X account, captioning the video writing, “Horrible stuff here from Michigan State’s Spencer Brown….Suspension coming.” It reflected a clear sign of displeasure toward the act done by Brown, further commending his foul by saying, “Can’t be doing this.”
