Squad composition
How the 27-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Michigan St. for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers3
- Defenders9
- Midfielders10
- Forwards5
Who is leaving, and when
7 of the 27 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 26% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 3 midfielders, 2 defenders, 2 forwards. Which programmes lose the most at your position?
- Freshman5
2 defenders2 midfielders1 goalkeeper
- Sophomore9
4 defenders4 midfielders1 forward
- Junior6
2 goalkeepers2 forwards1 defender1 midfielder
- Senior (final year)7
3 midfielders2 defenders2 forwards
- Graduate (final year)0
Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for.

Recent results
Overall record across the last 3 seasons. Soccer is a fall sport, so each season runs from August to a championship in December of the year shown. The NCAA files them by academic year, so the 2025 season appears as 2025-26 on its own site.
| Season | W | L | T | Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
