He bounced around a bit, even worked for the team, and then got another chance to punt for Michigan State. Baringer didn&#8217;t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>The Waterford Township, Mich., native turned Illinois transfer turned Michigan State walk-on eventually earned the starting job with the Spartans.<\/p>\n<p>And he led the nation in punting in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Baringer was named an All-American and Big Ten Punter of the Year yet somehow was snubbed for the Ray Guy Award by a punter from Rutgers (make that make sense). Now he has to prove himself yet again after he missed out on being awarded the nation&#8217;s top punter award despite leading the nation in some major categories and probably being Michigan State&#8217;s best player in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>He would get that chance with an invite to the Reese&#8217;s Senior Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Baringer is not disappointing at practice thus far as one attendee stated that he is a &#8220;top 5 player&#8221; at the Senior Bowl. That is glowing praise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Michigan State punter Bryce Baringer is a top 5 player at the Senior Bowl.
