Rhys Dakin to Michigan State | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State is on a punters’ roll, adding Rhys Dakin — a two-time All-Big Ten standout from Iowa — to join Bryce Baringer and Ryan Eckley as recent NFL draft picks. Dakin, who averaged over 43 yards per punt, is primed to be the Spartans’ top punter and is already being hailed as a top special teams asset. His move was heavily influenced by new special teams coordinator LeVar Woods, who previously coached Tory Taylor — now with the Chicago Bears. With three seasons of eligibility thanks to a recent NCAA rule change, Dakin is expected to start immediately, joining Alex Weeks as Michigan State rebuilds its special teams unit to avoid costly mistakes from last season.
