After a five-year wait, former MSU kicker Morten Andersen will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Andersen is the second kicker to ever earn a spot in Canton and will join LaDanian Tomlinson, Terrell Davis, Kurt Warner, Kenny Easley and current Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as the Class of 2017.
Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, Andersen came to MSU from Ben Davis high school in Indianapolis and played with the Spartans in 44 games from 1978-81 and named a First-team All-American in 1981. In his four seasons at MSU, Andersen made 126-of-130 extra point attempts and 45 field goals on 72 attempts for a combined total of 261 points at the collegiate level.
