Kenneth Walker III dazzles with long go-ahead TD reception vs. Washington
Kenneth Walker III is a bad man.
It wasn’t a great day for the Michigan State Spartans fanbase on Saturday night, as they were blown out by Ohio State, 38-3. However, there was something to be excited about on Sunday as a former Michigan State star was making a big play in Week 10’s matchup between Seattle and Washington.
The former Spartan had a huge play for the Seahawks in the game against the Commanders. He caught a 64-yard pass from quarterback Geno Smith and took it the distance for a touchdown to give the Seahawks a lead in the 3rd quarter.

Walker began his collegiate career at Wake Forest in 2019 and 2020, but transferred to Michigan State at the start of the 2021 season. This is where his career absolutely took off.
In his lone season in East Lansing, he rushed the ball 263 times for 1,636 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. That performance throughout the season earned him the Walker Camp Award and the Doak Walker award as well.
After his lone year at Michigan State, he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 41st pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Last season in his rookie year with the Seahawks, he rushed for 1,050 yards and 9 touchdowns and he is on pace for similar numbers this season as well.
