MSU Special Teams Overhaul | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State’s special teams are about to explode onto the scene after a brutal 103rd national ranking last year. New coach LeVar Woods — Iowa’s elite special teams guru and paid over a million bucks to come — is leading a full-scale overhaul. Liam Boyd, a transfer kicker with solid stats (though some close misses), takes over as starter, while Nick Duzansky from Oregon steps in at long snapper. Kenneth Williams, a dynamic kick returner who averaged 32 yards per return and scored a 95-yard TD last year, is poised to be a game-changer. The punt returner spot remains open, but backups like Alex Weeks, Stephen Gonzales (a freshman kicker under new NCAA rules), and Trey Serauskis are ready to step up. This unit isn’t just rebuilding — it’s aiming for dominance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
