East Lansing — LJ Scott isn’t looking to give up too many carries this season, but when he does take a break during his senior season, he’s confident to whom the ball will be going.
That will likely be Connor Heyward, who saw limited action last season as a freshman.
“He’s gonna be a special guy,” Scott said.
It’s probably fitting, considering the 6-foot, 228-pound Heyward got his feet wet last season on special teams, specifically returning kickoffs. But what Scott was talking about was the impact Heyward could have carrying the ball out of the backfield.
