CFB Rank Big Ten player spotlight: Riley Bullough

Michigan State linebacker Riley Bullough is thinking big picture as he heads into his final season as a Spartan. Bullough, who sneaks into our College Football Rank Top 100 players at the No. 97 spot, is trying to carve out a name for himself this year among one of the country's deepest linebacker groups and a crowded family tree of football stars.

The Bullough name casts a long shadow in East Lansing. Riley became the fourth member of his family to lead Michigan State in tackles with 106 stops last fall, and he'll become the fourth member of his family to lead the program in tackles for two straight seasons if he can put together a repeat performance in 2016.
