He redshirted in 2012 and caught one pass while playing in four games as a redshirt freshman. He announced before last season that he was giving up football to focus on academics and preparation for medical school. Epitropolous will reunite in East Lansing with MSU linebacker Chris Frey, a high school teammate. And as a walk-on, he will be eligible to play right away. His father, John — a former Ohio State player — today confirmed his son’s plans with the Spartans but said that Frank wanted to hold off on commenting until he got to East Lansing.
