Jonathan Kim

Kim earned Second-Team All-Big Ten honors as voted on by both coaches and media. During the season, Kim finished tied for second in the Big Ten with 19 field goals, a record tying him for eighth most in a single season at MSU. He was also second in the B1G in field goal percentage (.905).

Kim also set a school record with six field goals in the Spartans 32-20 win over Iowa, setting a Big Ten modern-day record in the process as well. He was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist this season and marks his second-straight season earning All-Big Ten honors, having garnered Honorable Mention in 2023.

Ryan Eckley  

Eckley also earned Second-Team All-Big Ten honors as voted by the coaches and garnered Third-Team All-Big Ten honors from the media.

The sophomore punter ranked second in the Big Ten in punting average at 47.9 yards per punt. That average was good enough for tying fourth-most in the FBS had Eckley also met the required minimum per game (his 3.6 fell short). Eckley’s punting average ties him for the fourth most in school history alongside Brandon Fields in the 2004 season.

Jordan Turner  

Turner was an honorable mention by the Big Ten Conference’s coaches and media.

Turner led the Spartans in tackles with 66 on the season and ranked second in sacks with three. Turner also ranked fourth among Big Ten linebackers in tackles for loss with a career-high 10.5 on the season.

Charles Brantley  

Brantley was named an honorable mention by the coaches and media. Despite suffering a season-ending injury on Nov. 2 against Indiana, Brantley led the team in interceptions with three and pass breakups with seven.

Brantley also recorded 27 tackles including 1.5 tackles for loss. The highlight of Brantley’s season came on Sept. 14 against Prairie View A&M when he set a school record for the longest defensive play in school history with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Khris Bogle

An honorable mention by the media, Bogle led the Spartans in sacks this season with four, which tied a career-high for the graduate defensive lineman.

Bogle also ranked second on the team with a career-high 7.5 tackles for loss and he collected 37 total tackles. He also led the team with 16 total quarterback pressures. In his six-year career at Florida and MSU, Bogle collected 131 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 14.5 sacks.

Luke Newman

A graduate transfer from Holy Cross, Newman earned honorable mention recognition from the coaches and media.

Starting in all 12 games at left guard, Newman led MSU by appearing on 739 offensive snaps and graded as the No. 9 offensive guard in the Big Ten by Pro Football Focus.
