If you didn’t know Kenneth Walker III’s name, you do now.

The Wake Forest transfer ran right through Northwestern’s defense in Week 1, totaling 264 yards and 4 touchdowns in Michigan State’s 38-21 win over the Wildcats.

Even beyond the traditional stat sheet, Walker III put himself in the record book. He ran for 187 yards after contact in Week 1 — two more than Jonathan Taylor’s previous B1G record of 185 and five more than Saquon Barkley’s mark of 182.

Talk about some good company.

Walker III’s effort was a big factor in Michigan State’s decisive season-opening victory, which also earned him B1G Offensive Player of the Week honors. He’ll be a big part of Michigan State’s revamped run game going forward as coach Mel Tucker works to improve one of the offense’s weakest areas in 2020.

We’ll see if he can continue that dominance this week when the Spartans take on Youngstown State on Sept. 11 at noon ET.
