Ex-Michigan State running back Madre London heading to Tennessee

Former Michigan State running back Madre London says he's headed to Tennessee.

London, a graduate transfer, tweeted Sunday: "With much consideration, I have officially committed to the University of Tennessee."

London announced in February his decision to pursue a graduate transfer, saying at the time, "After long and deep introspection, I will be relinquishing my last year of eligibility as a Spartan."

London's decision came after starting running back LJ Scott decided to return for his senior season at MSU. Scott had considered entering the NFL draft.

The 6-foot-1, 218-pound London started eight games over three seasons at MSU, rushing for 924 yards and eight touchdowns in 230 career attempts.

Last season, he ran for 304 yards with three touchdowns on 83 carries and also caught nine passes for 62 yards, including the game-winning touchdown against Michigan.
