Kenneth Walker III began his career at Wake Forest, rushing for 579 yards in back-to-back seasons. He scored 13 rushing touchdowns in just eight appearances last year and then transferred to Michigan State.
He hardly could've made a better impression.
Walker ripped off a 75-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play of the Spartans' 38-21 victory over Northwestern. He piled up 264 yards and four touchdowns—both of which finished as the most by any player in the country—during his MSU debut.
Next weekend, Walker has another chance for big numbers. Youngstown State just surrendered 118 yards and two scores to Incarnate Word's Kevin Brown.
