Michigan State drops 'storm trooper' uniform in latest hype video

Michigan State is currently slated as one of the top teams in the country and the Sparty swagger is real.

The Spartans social media team continues to showcase the current state of the program. Michigan State is focused, fun, and the perfect amount of flashy while thriving in mid-October.

Thursday, Spartans took to social media to drop their uniform reveal for Saturday’s game vs. Indiana.

In a follow up tweet, Michigan State provided an up-close view of the detailed “storm trooper” threads that include a unique Sparty green cursive graphic that simply spells “State” on an all white helmet.

Michigan State use video to inspire Kenneth Walker Heisman hype

It’s clear the Spartans social media department is using video to showcase the program’s current momentum and it’s fun for college football and fans to follow along.

Michigan State is not being subtle in their new campaign to get star running back Kenneth Walker III the Heisman Trophy.

On Wednesday, the Spartans tweeted a video as part of their campaign, highlighting the junior’s unbelievable first half of the season:

The race for the award for the top player in college football is narrowing and Walker is now fourth, according to odds-makers in Vegas.

Alabama sophomore QB Bryce Young still has the best odds through six weeks at +185 but the distance between him and Ole Miss’s dual-threat Matt Corral has shortened. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is also inching closer to the top of the odds chart, moving from +1800 after Week 5 to +1000 after Week 6.

Kenneth “Runner” III

The Michigan State signal caller posted his second 200+ rushing game of the season on Saturday versus Rutgers. He ran for 232 yards and one score in the win. He averaged a whopping eight yards a carry.

Through six games, he’s the only running back in the country to post more than 800 rushing yards. He’s totaled 913 yards and nine scores. On top of the rushing yards, Walker’s also caught four passes for 30 yards and one touchdown.

Alabama alum Derrick Henry was the last running back to win the Heisman in 2015 but the Michigan State star, as well as Texas standout Bijan Robinson, is making a strong case to make 2021 another such year.

Kenneth Walker hails from Arlington, Tennessee, where he was a three-star prospect coming out of high school. Walker had just nine D-I offers as a senior in high school. He originally signed with Wake Forest before transferring to Michigan State for the 2021 season.
