Michael Denning brings steady kickoff value and coach-trust to Toledo's special teams
In the 2024 season, Toledo’s Michael Denning was a dependable special-teams piece, handling 48 of the Rockets’ 57 kickoffs while averaging 60.7 yards per kickoff with 3 touchbacks and 1 out-of-bounds kick, and he was also cited as an Academic All-MAC honoree with a 3.70 GPA.[6][8][12] At 6-foot-0 and 193 pounds, he profiles as a mature, reliable specialist who adds roster flexibility more than headline-grabbing explosiveness, and Toledo’s staff has repeatedly used him in kickoff duties and depth-chart support.[2][13][14]
