Michigan State Reportedly Set to Hire Cardinals DL Coach Winston DeLattiboudere

The 27-year-old former Minnesota lineman offers Big Ten recruiting familiarity alongside recent NFL experience for Pat Fitzgerald's defensive rebuild.

Overview

On3 and 247Sports report that Michigan State is set to hire Arizona Cardinals defensive line coach Winston DeLattiboudere, with CBS Sports cited as first identifying him as the target.
A later Yahoo Sports report echoed the sourcing that DeLattiboudere plans to return to college coaching to take the Spartans’ defensive line job.
DeLattiboudere joined the Cardinals in February 2025 after college stops that included Minnesota, Charlotte, Oregon and Akron.
He played at Minnesota from 2015 to 2019 and later coached there, crossing paths with current Michigan State defensive coordinator Joe Rossi.
No official announcement has been made by Michigan State or the Cardinals, but reporting describes the move as in motion after multiple Power Four programs pursued him.
