For the fourth time this season, a member of the often-maligned Michigan State football defense has been named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.
On Monday, MSU linebacker Cal Haladay received the honor after recording 3.5 tackles-for-loss and nine total tackles in the Spartans’ win over Illinois. Haladay joins Jacoby Windmon, who has earned the award three times, in taking home the honor.
