EAST LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The last time Michigan State reached such a feat for back-to-back player Big Ten Player of the Week was 14 years ago. Jacoby Windmon becomes just the fifth Spartan player to be given the award on consecutive weeks joining Javon Ringer (RB, 2008), Brett Swenson (K, 2008), Drew Stanton (QB, 2005), and Paul Edinger (K, 1998).
Windmon forced three fumbles against Akron along with 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, broke up a pass, and recovered a fumble. He leads the FBS in sacks (5.5) and forced fumbles (4) and is tied for first in tackles for loss (6.5). His three forced fumbles in a game is the most since Joe Bachie did in 2018 vs. Maryland.

He is making the most of his time at MSU after a three-year career at UNLV. The transfer had 169 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, and 12 sacks for the Rebels while twice earning All-Mountain West honors. His first two games have solidified him as one of the best in the Big Ten this early in the year.
He will have his biggest test of the year on Saturday traveling to Washington to face the Huskies who are averaging 48.5 points per game.
