Ryan Eckley has made a name for himself during his time with Michigan State football, and has added another accolade to his ledger in 2025.

Eckley has been named as an All-American, with the AFCA putting him on the second team and the AP putting him on the third team. The accolades come on the heels of being named as the Big Ten's Punter of the Year and a first team All-Big Ten player.

Sitting behind Bryce Baringer did wonders for Eckley, who is forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft, where he will almost certainly will be selected.

In 2025, Eckley had 49 punts that averaged 48.5 yards and had a long of 60. He put 20 punts inside of the 20-yard line with a 40.8% inside the 20 percentage.
