Tyler O’Connor is revered by Michigan State fans for leading an improbable, upset win at Ohio State in 2015.

He’s also “the other punter” from the Spartans’ more shocking victory at Michigan a few games earlier.

The former MSU quarterback was the last player to punt other than Jake Hartbarger until the senior got injured in a 16-13 loss on Sept. 8 at Arizona State, knocking the punter out for the next 6 to 8 weeks.
