Michigan State football: 2023 transfer tracker

Tracking Michigan State’s transfer portal activity in 2023:

The transfer portal is seeing a record number of players entering to look for new homes around college football.

Former Michigan State kicker Jack Stone is transferring to Baylor

Michigan State football’s 2022 season will be remembered for many things, but oddly enough, it might be most remembered as the season where the program did not have much trust in their kickers, opting to only kick 12 field goals on the year.

One of those kickers, Jack Stone, opted to transfer back in November,  and now he has found a new home. Stone announced on Thursday that he will be transferring to Baylor.

Stone went 2-for-4 on his kicks in 2022, and 15-for-16 on his extra points, scoring 21 total points on the year for MSU. In the final game of the regular season, he did showoff some of his talent, hitting a 51-yard field goal against Penn State.
