Ohio State isn't the only Big Ten East team facing an NFL exodus.
After losing guys like Connor Cook, Shilique Calhoun and Aaron Burbridge (among others), Michigan State is losing the services of walk-on turned All-American tackle Jack Conklin.

Spartan Nation,
Having deliberated whether or not to take my football career to the next level, I have made the decision with the support of my family to forgo my final season of eligibility at Michigan State University and declare for the NFL Draft. To say that this was a difficult decision for me would be an understatement, but I’m very excited for what the next chapter has in store for me. I’m truly blessed and grateful to have this unbelievable opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine.
These past four years hold some of the most memorable moments of my life so far with my Spartan family by my side. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of the most successful run in Michigan State football history, and the experiences I’ve had with my teammates are unforgettable. The bond and commitment formed among one another is something rare and I believe these relationships will lead to continued success.
Should make for interesting times in the division come next fall.
