ALLENDALE, Mich -- Grand Valley State will hold its annual spring football classic Saturday at noon, the Lakers have moved it indoors to the Kelly Family Sports Center to avoid the bad weather.

The Lakers also bring back the d2football.com offensive player of the year in running back Marty Carter.

The defense will need to fill the void at linebacker after graduating top tacklers Garrett Poughnet and Collin Schlosser, but are strong at defensive end with the return of Dylan Carroll and Michael Pettis.
