No Michigan State Spartans player has ever won the Heisman Trophy. In fact, there have only been four players to even finish among the top four vote-getters for the award. However, there is no reason that streak can’t end this year.
The last Spartan to finish in the top four for the award was Lorenzo White, who pulled it off in both 1985 and 1987. But the Spartans have a handful of players who could not only be among the finalists, but actually win the Heisman.
Last season was supposed to be running back LJ Scott’s breakout Heisman season.
