u25a0 RB Kenneth Walker III — A tweaked ankle couldn’t slow down the junior’s late-season quest to impress the Heisman Trophy voters. Walker ran a career-high 30 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns, adding a pair of receptions for another 29 yards (26 of those yards after the catch). His 1,473 rushing yards rank eighth in MSU’s single-season list, while Walker’s 17 rushing TDs are tied for seventh-most in a single season.
