SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Senior Khari Willis told Josiah Scott in Michigan State’s locker room after Monday’s Redbox Bowl that he expected the sophomore cornerback to fill his shoes as a leader in the Spartans’ secondary next season.

Scott soon began sounding like his departing captain, assuming the mantle of leadership and quickly tossing 2018 aside.

“Next year starts today in my opinion,” Scott said after MSU’s 7-6 loss to Oregon.
