His two 200-yard games earlier this season weren’t enough. But Michigan State football running back Kenneth Walker III’s monster performance against Michigan finally earned the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s attention.
Walker was named the organization’s national offensive player of the week Sunday, a day after he became the first player in history to score five touchdowns against the Wolverines in the Spartans’ 37-33 victory at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.
The junior ran 23 times for 197 yards, with scores of 27, 8, 1, 58 and 23 yards. His final two touchdowns and 101 of his yards came in the fourth quarter as MSU (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) climbed one spot to No.
