EAST LANSING – When Keith Bhonapha began investigating Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams during the portal process, the new Michigan State football running backs coach remembered the Massachusetts transfer started his career in the Big Ten.
But Bhonapha learned far more about Lynch-Adams from his response about why he did.
“I asked him why he left Rutgers. And he said he was immature and he probably should have stayed,” Bhonapha recalled after practice Thursday. “And as soon as he said that, I’m like, ‘This is the kind of guy I want in my room – a guy that is self aware,’ because self-awareness is a quality that a lot of people don’t have. And he has it.”
Lynch-Adams returns this fall to his Midwest roots for his sixth and final college season and back to a conference he is familiar with, having also discovered plenty about himself since his younger years. With the opportunity comes a chance to show he has the vision and talent to shine in the Big Ten, like he always felt he could.
