MSU Revamps Special Teams with LeVar Woods

Michigan State is revamping its special teams with a blockbuster move: hiring LeVar Woods as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator, bringing Iowa’s proven special teams blueprint to East Lansing. Woods, a three-year, $1M+ contract signing, helped build Iowa’s elite units that gave MSU fits last season — including a game-winning punt return by Kaden Wetjen. He’s bringing over All-Big Ten punter Rhys Dakin and dynamic returner Kenneth Williams, who also scored a TD. Field goal duties are up for grabs between veteran Liam Boyd and freshman Stephen Gonzales, while punt returner could be freshman Samson Gash — the fastest player on the roster. This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a full-scale rebuild aimed at turning a 103rd-ranked unit into a game-changer. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
