The Detroit News put together an impressive list of the best Michigan State football players in the past 25 years. This list features recent Spartan DE Kenny Willekes. Willekes started at Michigan State in 2016 and just wrapped up his tenure in 2019. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 7th round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Here is what Matt Charboneau of The Detroit News wrote about Willekes:
“A former walk-on, Willekes finished his career as Michigan State’s all-time leader in tackles for loss with 51 and ranked third with 26 sacks. He won the 2019 Burlsworth Trophy, given to the nation’s most outstanding player who began his career as a walk-on, and was named the 2018 Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year after leading the conference with 20.5 tackles for loss. Willekes earned second-team All-American honors twice.”
