Just as Riley Bullough received an award for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, running back L.J. Scott was also honored by the conference as Co-Big Ten Freshman of the Week along with Penn State‘s Saquon Barkley.
#MichiganState RB L.J. Scott is named B1G Co-Freshman of the Week with 76 yards and 2 TDs on 11 carries in the victory over Oregon.

This is a huge honor for the young running back as he came to Michigan State as the highest-rated offensive recruit in quite some time — maybe even since Charles Rogers.
