Building the Next Kicking Unit | Michigan State Spartans Football News

The kicking and punting room is loaded with talent—experienced veterans, elite freshmen, and versatile athletes ready to step up. With new eligibility rules giving some players five years of college football, the coaching staff is focused on developing each player and figuring out who’ll dominate as primary kicker or punter. Dakin, a mature transfer from Iowa, is leading by example; Liam Boyd, a seasoned veteran with starting experience, is poised for a breakout year. Nick Dezansky brings Oregon pedigree but needs reps, while Alex Weeks and Steven Gonzalez—both raw but gifted—are hungry to prove themselves. Trey Eraskas, a walk-on snapper, adds depth. It’s a fierce, trust-driven battle to build a championship-caliber unit—one where every player has a chance to shine.
