Entering last season, Michigan went with a unique, sometimes puzzling, two-kicker approach on field goals, with Jake Moody and Quinn Nordin.
Moody got the bulk of kicks early in the season and was 6-of-9. Nordin, who had been 0-for-3, including misses from 55 and 58 yards, took over the job for good at Maryland and handled the kicking the final five games. Against Michigan State he made three field goals and five extra points. Nordin made his final 10 field-goal attempts, including a 57-yarder against Alabama in the Wolverines’ Citrus Bowl loss. But when preseason camp begins, whenever that might be, Michigan special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh said no starting spot is a given.
