MSU Names Scout Team Players of the Week from Penn State Prep

Players

RB/WR Bryson Williams

Williams, a true freshman, gets recognized for his work on the scout team for the second time this year, the other time being Week 3 in preparation for Youngstown State. He's worked as both a running back and a wide receiver during practices.

He's been able to get into three games this season, making one catch for eight yards against Indiana and having a six-yard rush at Minnesota.

OL Drew Nichols

This is the third time Nichols has been recognized as a true freshman. The other times were against Western Michigan and Indiana.

Nichols has not been able to see game action yet. He was a consensus three-star prospect from Murietta, Calif.

DB Keshawn Williams

Williams is another third-time honoree who is a redshirt freshman and is being recognized for a second straight week.

According to Pro Football Focus, he made his collegiate debut against Minnesota as a part of MSU's punt return team.

DL Derrick Simmons

Former four-star recruit Derrick Simmons is on here for the first time this season.

MSU's coaching staff has an intriguing decision with him during the three remaining games, since Simmons has appeared in four games this year. If he plays again, he will burn his redshirt.

EDGE Luke DeJager

DeJager is getting honored for the first time this season. He's another redshirt freshman who has not seen game action yet.

According to his MSU bio, DeJager actually joined the team midseason last year.
