MSU football head coach Jonathan Smith plays tennis with Michigan State tennis star Ozan Baris

Michigan State’s head coach Jonathan Smith looks on during camp on Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, at the indoor practice facility in East Lansing.

In case you didn’t already know, Michigan State has become something of a tennis powerhouse, and they are led by their star, Ozan Baris, who was the Big Ten Player of the Year last season.

On Tuesday, Michigan State football coach Jonathan Smith took his team to the tennis courts to see him try to return a serve from Baris.
