In case you didn't know, MSU has a tradition of graduating top-flight kickers into the NFL such as Paul Edinger, Dave Rayner and Morten Anderson. This year MSU is taking a walk-on kicker, a local yokel by the name of Evan Fischer. No punters this year.
Evan Fischer
Evan Fischer committed to Michigan State on 11/2/2011. He is being brought in as a preferred walk-on at MSU. According to Rivals he had no college offers, but that's not terribly unusual for a kicker. Kickers often get offers the way Head Coaching Offers get made, you don't get an offer unless you're going to say yes. So in Fischer's case, MSU wanted him as a walk-on and he got no MAC offers because he wasn't going to go there. Clear as mud?
None of this is to say he's short on accomplishments, which you can find on his website. I won't link it here because his home address is on there and that would be super creepy of me. However, the short list are: MHSAA Single Season Field Goal Record Holder. A made 52 yarder this season. He was 11 of 20 on the season which sounds kind of blah until you consider two things. 1.) Brett Swenson, the "Half-Pint Hero and Goss Eraser" was 7 of 11 his senior year of high school. 2.) He was 1 of 7 from over 50 yards, including 0-5 from north of 55 yards. I assume these attempts from more than 55 yards came at the end of halves, right Holt coach? because it would be crazy to expect a 17 year old to make NFL long shot field goals. Anyway, so adjusted for reasonability he finishes 10 of 13 inside of 50. Which works for me.
A Predictor of Future Success is YOUtube
Seems like a good kid, gets lots of loft on his kicks. Not really sure what else to say. He's a walk-on until he can Dan Conroy his way onto the field.
2012 Prognostication and Beyond: He'll be sitting behind Conroy and Muma. I'm getting the feeling that Muma might always be a kickoff specialist. He will redshirt in 2012, no matter what. I think his first chance to see the field will be after Conroy graduates in 2013.
