You may have heard by now, but LJ Scott will not be returning to East Lansing in 2019. After only playing in four games this season — thanks to new NCAA redshirting rules — Scott had decided in early November to take a redshirt and return to the Michigan State Spartans for a fifth season. The running back has now changed his mind and plans to declare for the NFL Draft.
Scott was mostly ailed by an ankle injury in 2018, which he suffered in Week 2 against Arizona State.
