The last time MSU sixth-year linebacker Ed Davis played Wisconsin, he was a redshirt-freshman. He recorded a tackle for loss in that game, and seemed to bring an extra competitive fire wherever he played, whether it was through his work on the scout team, his redshirt season or his 58 tackles his junior year as a starter.
The hype surrounding him prior to his knee injury that sidelined him for the entire 2015 season was substantial, as he was named to numerous award watch lists. Finally, with the long-awaited approval of the NCAA to grant him a sixth year of eligibility, Davis is back with the Spartans.
