When you have a program with the level of talent on the defensive side of the ball that Michigan State football has seen over the years, it’s a little surprising when a new record or milestone is reached, but that happened this week when linebacker Jacoby Windmon became the first Spartan to be named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for the third time this season.
Windmon earned the honor after he helped will the Spartans to victory over Wisconsin, racking up 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception and one huge forced fumble.
