It has been even longer, 2,099 days, since he started his first fall camp as a freshman in East Lansing, though he would redshirt that season and play on the scout team while the Spartans went on to their third Big Ten title under then head coach Mark Dantonio, and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff. In between those dates, when he was in East Lansing, Lewerke had a five-year career that saw him become the program’s all-time leader in total offense with 8,293 passing yards and 1,255 rushing yards. He started in 38 of his 41 games played in Green and White, and he threw for at least 400 yards in back-to-back games for the first time in Michigan State history in 2017.
