It was considered a huge get when Michigan State landed Kenneth Walker III through the transfer portal in December, and that has only been further proven by Pro Football Focus (PFF).
Walker, who was at Wake Forest prior to transferring to Michigan State, has been listed as the No. 5 returning running back in the country by PFF. The college and pro football evaluation service listed him with an 87.1 grade.

Walker racked up 579 yards and 13 touchdowns on 119 rushing attempts this past season with Wake Forest. He also had 579 yards and four touchdowns in his freshman season, making him someone who certainly can have an instant impact for the Spartans next season.
Walker will be joined in the Spartans’ backfield by Auburn transfer Harold Joiner, Jordan Simmons, Elijah Collins and Connor Heyward. It’s safe to say Michigan State is in a good spot at running back entering the 2021 season.
