Le'Veon Bell 2.0? MSU center compares freshman to NFL star
Michigan State center Jack Allen raised some eyebrows in Chicago when he compared a former Michigan State tailback to a soon-to-be Spartan runner L.J. Scott.
"He looks like Le'Veon Bell," Allen told reporters in Chicago for Big Ten Media Days, via MLive.com. "When I saw him, he looked like he would be Le'Veon's cousin or something."
Although both are big backs from Ohio, Scott enters schools in East Lansing with a much higher profile than Bell, who was an afterthought in Michigan State's class of 2010.
While Scott is a four-star prospect coming off a monster senior season at Hubbard High School, Bell was a two-star as a senior at Groveport Madison High.
Scout.com rated Scott the No. 1 back in Ohio and No. 8 nationally -- 191 spots higher than Bell checked in five years ago.
Of course, much of that goes out the window once a player steps on campus -- as Bell himself proved.
