MSU Football defensive back Josiah Scott decided to forego his senior year at Michigan State to make the jump to the NFL, and it looks like that decision is going to pay off for Scott. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has already identified Scott as MSU’s top draft prospect, and his performance at the NFL Combine should only strengthen that point. In the 40-yard dash, Scott placed fifth in the cornerback group, running it in a brisk 4.42 seconds.

You can watch Scott’s first attempt below:

Michigan State has not gone through an NFL Draft in the modern era without a player being drafted and Scott will certainly ensure that this trend continues. Other Spartans like Kenny Willekes and Brian Lewerke have also looked sharp at the combine. There are seven Spartans in total at the NFL Combine this year and we will post the full combine results for each player on Monday evening.
