Michigan State starting LS Jack Wills enters transfer portal
Michigan State long snapper Jack Wills entered the transfer portal on Monday. Wills started all 12 games for the Spartans as a freshman this fall.
Wills enjoyed a productive freshman season at Michigan State. He helped patch up the long snapping woes the Spartans dealt with in previous seasons. Outside of a bad snap against Nebraska – in high winds – Wills played mistake-free football this year.
Wills, a Hudsonville (Mich.) High School product, signed with Michigan State as part of its 2025 class. He also had preferred walk-on opportunities at Syracuse and Central Michigan out of high school.
Kornblue Kicking – a recruiting service that hosts specialist camps across the country – ranked Wills (6-2, 217) the No. 2 long snapper in the 2025 class, and the No. 1 long snapper from Michigan in his class. Oklahoma long snapper Seth Freeman was the only long snapper ranked above Wills.
