Kim named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week, while Marsh earns Big Ten Freshman of the Week accolades for their roles in the win over Iowa on Homecoming.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State sixth-year graduate placekicker Jonathan Kim and freshman wide receiver Nick Marsh have earned weekly honors from the Big Ten for their performances in the 32-20 Homecoming win over Iowa last Saturday night in Spartan Stadium.
Kim earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week accolades after setting a school record with six made field goals, while Marsh was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week.
A native of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Kim connected on six of his seven field-goal attempts, including a season-long 55-yarder in the fourth quarter. He also was good from 42, 43, 36, 29 and 46 yards out.
Kim’s six field goals passed the previous school record of five set by Paul Edinger (1998 vs. Northwestern and Ohio State) and John Langeloh (1988 vs. Wisconsin). It also tied a modern-day Big Ten record, matching Jake Moody of Michigan with six field goals vs. Indiana (11/17/18), and is tied for the most in a Big Ten game; E.C. Robertson of Purdue kicked seven field goals on Oct. 27, 1900, vs. Rose Poly. With 20 points overall against Iowa, including two PATs, Kim also set a top mark in modern-day Big Ten history by a kicker, bettering the 19 points by Moody in 2018 vs. Indiana.
Kim is 15-of-16 on field goals for the season to rank first in the Big Ten and tied for second in the FBS in made field goals.
