  New Michigan State football assistant coach Will Peagler spent plenty of time watching film of his running backs. All the way back to their high school tape. And the athletic ability he saw from returning starter Elijah Collins impressed him. "The thing that stood out to me is how much weight, how much bigger and thicker he's gotten over the last year and during the season," Peagler said Wednesday. "You could see him get better over the portion of the year, and I think that's a credit to him taking care of his body and doing the right things off the field." Collins took over the starting job two games into his redshirt freshman season and finished just shy of MSU's first 1,000-yard season since 2014, rushing for 988 yards and five TDs on 222 carries.

"The first thing that stands out to me about him is he's a phenomenal kid, and he works his butt off," Peagler said. "When kids work their butt off and they have talent, good things are going to happen. And I think he's a perfect example of that." Peagler said he had Collins and junior Connor Heyward in a recent position meeting over video conference teach the rest of the running backs about the blocking responsibilities he wants from the position. And the 34-year-old Peagler believes his players "are one of the better groups that's here on the football team." - Lansing State Journal
