4. Le’Veon Bell vs. 13. Matt Trannon

Le’Veon Bell got to be a top player on some really good teams AND a lone bright spot on a mediocre team. He was part of a committee in 2010 when MSU won 11 games and then the go-to guy the next year when MSU won 11 games again. Then it fell apart a bit in 201 and thank god Le’Veon was still on campus, because the MSU offense was going nowhere fast without him. He took his college career and translated it to a very successful run in the NFL where he has been one of the best running backs in the league for the last seven years.

Two-sport star Matt Trannon is his opponent. Trannon never had eye-popping numbers in either football or basketball, but it was so impressive that he was able to play both sports at a high level. He was on the 2005 team that made a run to the Final Four and had 500+ receiving yards and four touchdowns that fall. That’s really cool.
