EAST LANSING — For the second time in less than a year, LJ Scott faced a challenging decision.
And again, the running back chose to return to Michigan State football.
Coach Mark Dantonio said the senior running back will return for a fifth season by taking advantage of new NCAA redshirt rules.
“You have an opportunity for him to come back and get his degree,” Dantonio said after Saturday’s 26-6 loss to No. 8 Ohio State. “And he wants to that and get himself right to play his final season at Michigan State.”
Scott was in uniform but sat out his second straight game and for the sixth time this season.
