Michigan State Player Gets Probation For Brawl At Michigan Stadium

ANN ARBOR, MI — A judge sentenced Michigan State defensive back Khary Crump to 12 months probation and 80 hours of community service Tuesday for his role in a postgame brawl inside the tunnel at Michigan Stadium in October.

Crump was originally charged with a felonious assault, but that charge was later dropped under a deal with prosecutors. He was ultimately charged with two misdemeanor assault charges in connection to the brawl.

The judge also ordered Crump to give back to the community through young people so that he can be a role model for them, which he’ll do through a youth camp.

Crump must also pay a $550 fine for each charge, submit to random drug testing and complete an anger management program.

Video showed multiple Michigan State players, pummeling Michigan Wolverine player Ja’Den McBurrows inside the tunnel following a 29-7 Wolverine win.

Seven players, including Crump, were charged in connection to the brawl. Crump was the only player charged with a felony at that time.

Michigan State players Itayvion Brown, Angelo Grose, Justin White, Brandon Wright, Zion Young and Jacoby Windmon were charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in connection to the brawl.

All seven players were suspended by Michigan State Head Coach Mel Tucker for the rest of the regular season following the brawl. Crump will also miss the first eight games of the 2023 season.

It remains unclear if Crump will be reinstated to the team after his suspension is over.
