Mark Dantonio Excited to Have Spartan “Legend” Jalen Watts-Jackson Back At Practice Full Go!

The nation watched last year as Jalen Watts-Jackson ran a last second special teams play back for a touchdown leading the Michigan State Spartans to a 27-23 win over the Michigan Wolverines. Sadly the nation watched Watts-Jackson cry out in pain laying in the end zone as his Spartan teams surrounded him.

He suffered a fractured and dislocated hip that required surgery in Ann Arbor before ever returning to East Lansing. Forget football, people feared for his return to 100% health. Months ahead of schedule that had hoped he would be able to return possibly during the season Watts-Jackson is back at MSU spring practice and back playing football.
