Michigan State football RB Kenneth Walker III is a Heisman Trophy sleeper

Michigan State football junior running back Kenneth Walker III has been making a name for himself.

And betters are taking notice.

Walker's Heisman Trophy odds are up to 40-to-1 after three games (for every $1 bet, you'd profit $40 if he wins). He rushed for 172 yards on 27 carries (6.4 yards per carry) in the Spartans' thrilling 38-17 upset at Miami on Saturday.

Walker was the Big Ten Conference offensive player of the week after Week 1, after his superb debut of 264 rushing yards and four touchdowns at Northwestern.
