East Lansing — If Michigan State found itself in a pinch at quarterback, Brian Lewerke thinks freshman running back La’Darius Jefferson could get the job done.
“It’s nuts,” Michigan State’s starting quarterback said after practice on Tuesday. “Whenever I see him throw the ball it always impresses me because his form is so good; just how the ball comes off so nicely. But he’s done a great job of transitioning to and just being a running back, in general. He’s done a fantastic job.”
Ranked one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation coming out of Muskegon —High, Jefferson was on Michigan State’s radar well before he ultimately decided to become a Spartan.
