The hardware from an unexpected season of success continues to mount for Michigan State football.
And it could be the first of many accolades coming this month for Kenneth Walker III.
The junior running back won the Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year award, the first Spartan to do so since its inception in 2011, and was named a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection, the conference announced Wednesday. It is the first major league award for an MSU offensive player since 2015 when Connor Cook won quarterback of the year and Aaron Burbridge was wide receiver of the year.
