  It was a remarkable run, but Kenneth Walker III has decided his days at Michigan State have ended. The consensus All-American announced on social media Thursday that he will not play in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30 as he prepares for next spring's NFL Draft. After transferring last year from Wake Forest, Walker proved immediately the impact he would have for the Spartans in 2021, scoring on a 75-yard run on the first play from scrimmage as he gained 264 yards and added four touchdowns in the season-opening win over Northwestern. Walker went on to rush for 1,636 yards, second in the nation, and score 18 rushing touchdowns in 12 games. He became the first Michigan State player to win the Walter Camp Player of the Year and the Doak Walker Award. He also finished sixth overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the best showing for a Spartan since 1988. - Detroit News

  12/11/21 - Aaron Brule, rSr/2024, Michigan State, 6-1, 223 (DS#26 OLB) + More +

  Michigan State has received a commitment from a potential difference-making transfer yet again. Mississippi State linebacker transfer Aaron Brule is a Spartan after taking an official visit to East Lansing last weekend. He has 142 career tackles, 18 of those for loss and eight sacks. "He's an amazing person as well as a great football player," said Steve Robertson of Mississippi State site Gene's Page. "He was a tremendous ambassador for Mississippi State on and off the field. His decision to enter the portal was a big loss for the Bulldogs on the field and in the locker room." Brule is being touted as an NFL prospect. - Detroit News

  2021 WALTER CAMP PLAYER OF YEAR: Walker is the first Michigan State player to win the prestigious honor. He is the 25th running back to earn the award, and the first since Derrick Henry (Alabama) in 2015. Walker is also the 11th player from a Big Ten school to win the award since it began in 1967. The Big Ten Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year winner, Walker was named a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection. Walker ranks second in the nation and first among Power Five players at 1,614 rushing yards and 134.5 yards per game, and his 18 rushing touchdowns are tied for fifth in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

He has led the nation in rushing for all but three weeks this fall and leads the FBS in rushing yards after contact (1,154) and carries of 20-or-more yards (21). Walker has posted eight 100-yard rushing efforts, including a season-high 264 in a victory over Northwestern on September 3. He also scored a season-high five touchdowns in a win over Big Ten-rival Michigan on Oct. 30 and earned Walter Camp National Offensive Player of Week honors. - The Walter Camp Football Foundation

  Kenneth Walker rushed for 197 yards and five touchdowns, helping No. 8 Michigan State top No. 6 Michigan 37-33 for a thrilling comeback win on Saturday. The Spartans (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) trailed by nine at halftime and 30-14 with 6:47 left in the third quarter before Walker boosted his chances of winning the Heisman Trophy. Walker's fifth touchdown - a 23-yard run - lifted the Spartans to a 37-33 lead with 5:08 remaining. The Wolverines (7-1, 4-1) forced a final punt and had the ball at their 33 with 1:15 and no timeouts left. After a roughing-the-passer penalty gave them the ball at midfield, Michigan State cornerback Charles Brantley sealed the victory by picking off a floating pass from Cade McNamara.

McNamara threw for 383 yards and two touchdowns, but his interception was costly, as was freshman quarterback J.J. McCarthy's lost fumble in the fourth quarter. The rivals were on the same field with 7-0 or better records for the first time, matching up as top-10 teams for the first time since 1964. Michigan State's win puts the program in contention for the Big Ten conference championship and potentially a spot in the College Football Playoff. Michigan's loss leaves Jim Harbaugh with a 3-4 record against Michigan State as a coach, putting even more pressure on him to get a win against No. 5 Ohio State next month. The Wolverines led 23-14 after an entertaining first half. - Michigan State/AP College Football
