Michigan State Spartans football coach Jonathan Smith has been impressed with the Spartans' kicking game since he arrived in East Lansing.
Last season, kicker Jonathan Kim joined the Spartans as a graduate transfer from North Carolina. While Michigan State was grateful for the new addition to a struggling kicking game, Kim arrived in East Lansing with zero made field goals in his career.
Kim has already caught Coach Smith’s attention. Smith recently said Kim has been “dropping bombs” in practice. Eckley has turned heads as well. Coach Smith says both players have been a pleasant surprise. Others on Michigan State’s new coaching staff are grateful for the experienced kickers they have in Kim and Eckley.
“Kim is a really good kicker, and obviously, Eckley is a really good punter and holder. You come in, you’re like, this is awesome. We’ve got really skilled specialists.”
