The Michigan State Spartans got a bit of a pleasant surprise, heading into signing week, late Saturday night as five-star kicker/punter Garrison Smith of Norwalk, Ohio committed to the Spartans as a preferred walk-on.
Smith will be joining Michigan State in the 2021 class, and will perhaps have the opportunity to earn a scholarship in the future after returning senior Matt Coghlin departs following next season.
It is unclear at this point whether Smith will play punter or kicker for the Spartans. However, when it comes to the Big Ten, punting is winning.
