Michigan State players and coaches were still celebrating the final victory of 2017 when the team received a key bit of information about the following season.
While still in uniform on the field at San Diego County Credit Union Stadium following a Holiday Bowl win against Washington State on Dec. 28, running back LJ Scott said he would return for his senior season.
By passing on the NFL draft for a fourth and final year in East Lansing, Scott gives the Spartans one of the top running backs in the Big Ten.
