Greg Montgomery. Transferred to Michigan State and became a first team all-America as a Junior.

Also, he was a 3x First Team All-B1G (1985, 1986, 1987) as a punter/kicker.

Lastly, Montgomery was a 3rd round draft pick and an NFL All-Pro in 1993. He played 9 years in the NFL.

I remember him as a freshman. Montgomery had a very strong leg and was known for his booming kickoffs. His career took off once he arrived at Michigan State.

He got to kick one punt his freshman year at PSU. At BC. Went for 70 yards. Never saw him again until he became a Spartan.

Beau Pribula had a pretty decent season at Mizzou before he got injured. Now transferred from Mizzou to UVA.

Leo "Hollywood" McClelland? Scored a touchdown in mop-up time in a rout against TCU in '78. He thought he could be the next great USC tailback. USC wouldn't take him and was a flop at Temple.

Micah Parsons did OK. Sorry for the snark. He was primed to break out and be one of the best but Covid screwed everything up.

Antonio Logan-El? How about the recruit, Money-Makin Adam MacLean?
I might have that last name wrong, but I remember he got Penn State shaved into his hair, then went to Maryland.
