Michigan State football opened with a national award winner.
Defensive end Jacoby Windmon earned the Walter Camp defensive player of the week honors Monday following the 14th-ranked Spartans’ 35-13 win over Western Michigan on Friday night.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pound senior transfer from UNLV posted four sacks against the Broncos, the most by an MSU player since Matthias Askew in 2003 (also against WMU). It was one shy of the school record five set by Travis Davis against Ohio State in 1987.
Windmon finished with seven tackles and forced a fumble, generating constant pressure against Broncos quarterback Jack Salopek.
