Dad: Watts-Jackson will celebrate Spartans' TD eventually

When Michigan State safety Jalen Watts-Jackson crossed the goal line at Michigan Stadium last weekend, the touchdown he scored on the final play of a 27-23 victory cemented his spot in Spartans history.

When he yelled out as he hit the ground, however, it wasn't in celebration.

The redshirt freshman suffered a dislocated hip that led to surgery Sunday. But he was on his way back to East Lansing by Monday and declared it was a price he would be willing to pay all over again.

"Very bittersweet end to my season," he posted on his Instagram account.
