Michigan State kicker Liam Boyd earns weekly recognition after Toledo victory

Michigan State kicker Liam Boyd received Lou Groza Award star of the week honors following his performance against Toledo on September 4, 2026.

His successful kicks included a career-long 51-yard field goal, setting a program record for the most made field goals in a debut appearance. Boyd’s singular miss during the contest resulted from a blocked attempt. The kicker serves as a new addition to the Michigan State roster for the 2026 season.
