Scott rushed for 898 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2017, leading the Spartans on the ground. He close the season strong on Thursday, totaling 110 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries against Washington State.
With Scott back in the mix, Michigan State’s offense could be one of the most potent in the B1G in 2018.
Michigan State got more than one victory while in San Diego. And Scott’s announcement means the Spartans could be competing for a B1G title again next season.
