Ben Patton gives Michigan State a steady-leg kicker with Power 5 experience
Patton is a graduate-transfer kicker who arrived at Michigan State from Auburn and quickly became a reliable option in pressure spots, including key late-game field goals in 2022. He brings proven major-conference experience, a strong enough range to make him viable beyond short chip shots, and the kind of composure coaches value when games tighten. His fit is best for teams needing a calm, competitive specialist who can win jobs in camp and handle clutch kicks rather than a pure ceiling play.
