While this might not have been the absolute best year for Michigan State football on special teams, they did have two very special players on that unit, both returning punts and kicks, and sending punts. Because of that, Jayden Reed and Bryce Baringer have been named Second Team All-Big Ten special teams by both the media and coaches.
Jayden Reed has emerged as one of the top return specialists in the country, returning 2 punts for touchdowns this year.
Baringer became a weapon in his own right, allowing Mel Tucker to play a field position game in many contests due to his booming leg. He averaged 48.6 yards per punt this year.
