Michigan State had one player selected during the 2025 NFL Draft, as guard Luke Newman went in the sixth round to the Chicago Bears.

Those players are listed below in no particular order.

A former North Carolina transfer, Kim made 32 of his 39 field goal attempts during his time at Michigan State, hitting from as far out as 58 yards. That 82.1% mark on field goals made him MSU's most accurate kicker in program history.

Kim also went 42 out of 44 on PATs and had a 61.7% touchback rate on kickoffs as a Spartan.

As a senior, he went 19-for-21 on field goals and 22-of-24 on extra points.
