Windmon raked 3rd in the Mountain West conference and led UNLV with 119 tackles last season. He was 13th across the FBS in that respect. He also led the Rebels in sacks with 6.5 on the season.

Michigan State looks to continue its strong start to the season next week against Akron.

Just thinking again about Jacoby Windmon putting up a season’s worth of sacks on opening night. 😱@JW1NDMON x @MSU_Football pic.twitter.com/AAyljwJfvm
