Spartan Hero Jalen Watts-Jackson Went From End Zone To Operating Table

Michigan State's Jalen Watts-Jackson was the right man in the right spot on Saturday night, but elation quickly turned to emergency during the celebration.

Watts-Jackson scooped up the ball fumbled by Michigan Punter, Blake O'Neil.  He returned it 38 yards giving the Spartans the most unlikely of victories.

While most Spartans were busy celebrating the win, Watts-Jackson was on the ground, writhing in pain.  It took a few moments for everyone to realize that something was wrong.

It turned out that Jalen had broken his hip when he was tackled into the end zone.  The injury was severe enough that he needed surgery on Sunday.  He tweeted to his hoards of new followers after the procedure.

Meanwhile, his timeline has been flooded with fan tweets like this one.

It doesnt matter if you are a Wolverine or a Spartan, it's good news to hear that Jalen is doing well.
