Martin Connington gives Michigan State a reliable leg with upside from long range
In 2025, Connington emerged as Michigan State’s primary kicker, leading the Spartans in scoring with 63 points while converting 12 of 16 field goals and 27 of 28 PATs; his kickoffs also averaged 62.0 yards with 19 touchbacks. What makes him interesting is the combination of dependable short-to-midrange accuracy and real long-range potential, with a made 50-yarder and prior high school tape showing big-leg upside. For a team, he looks like a solid fit if you want a kicker who can handle pressure volume and also change field position on kickoffs.[2][10][11][13]
