2/3/2026 11:42:00 AM | Football
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Former Michigan State All-Americans Bryce Baringer and Kenneth Walker III are preparing to play in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The game will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is being televised on NBC.
Baringer is the punter for the New England Patriots, while Walker is the starting running back for the Seattle Seahawks.
In addition, wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. is on the Seahawks practice squad. Wide receiver Cody White, who played in 10 games for the Seahawks during the regular season, is currently on injured reserve and will not be active.
Walker became the first Michigan State player to win the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and the Doak Walker Award during his lone season in East Lansing in 2021. Now in his fourth season with the Seahawks, Walker has had two impressive performances in the NFL Playoffs during Seattle's march to the Super Bowl.
In the Divisional Round matchup against the 49ers, Walker rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries while catching three passes for 29 yards in Seattle's 41-6 thrashing of San Francisco. He scored another rushing touchdown and had 62 yards on the ground overall on 19 carries, to go along with four receptions for 49 yards, for a total of 111 yards from scrimmage in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams. In the two playoff games combined, Walker has gained 256 yards from scrimmage (178 rushing, 78 receiving) with four rushing touchdowns.
A unanimous All-American in 2021, Walker led the Big Ten in rushing with 1,636 yards and was named the Big Ten Running Back of the Year. He was selected in the second round by Seattle (No. 41 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Walker led the Seahawks in rushing for the fourth season in a row in 2025 with 1,027 yards and five touchdowns on 221 carries. He started in all 17 games for the NFC West Champion Seahawks and 16th in the NFL in rushing yards while compiling a career-high 1,309 scrimmage yards (1,027 rushing, 282 receiving), which ranked 22nd in the NFL. Walker recorded six games of 100-plus yards from scrimmage, including 133 (97 rushing, 36 receiving) in the Week 18 win at San Francisco that clinched the No. 1 seed and the NFC West title for the Seahawks. This season marked the second 1,000-yard rushing season of his career (career-high 1,050 yards as a rookie in 2022), and he has rushed for 3,555 yards and 29 touchdowns over the course of 58 regular season games (54 starts) in his four-year NFL career (2022-25). He also has accumulated 4,560 yards from scrimmage in his career (78.6 ypg).
Baringer, a 2022 consensus All-American, set a school single-season record by averaging 49.0 yards per punt his senior season to earn Big Ten Punter of the Year honors. The Ray Guy Award finalist was chosen in the sixth round (No. 192 overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Patriots and is in his third season in the NFL.
In three playoff games – all outdoors in cold and at times windy and snowy conditions – Baringer is averaging 40.3 yards per punt (19 punts for 766 yards) and has placed six inside the 20.
During the regular season, Baringer averaged 47.4 yards per punt and placed 21 of his punts inside the 20. He was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team in 2023 after averaging 46.9 yards per punt.
White, a three-year letterwinner (2017-19) as a wide receiver for the Spartans, appeared in 10 games for the NFC West Champion Seahawks during the regular season. He played 165 snaps on offense and 117 on special teams. White, who is in his second season in Seattle after playing two seasons (2021-22) in Pittsburgh, had three catches for 90 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown in Week 9 at Washington. He spent the 2023 season on the practice squad for the Seahawks. White has 11 receptions for 169 yards and one TD in 30 career NFL games.
A five-year letterwinner (2020-24) as a wide receiver for the Spartans, Foster was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2025 but was waived on Aug. 6. He resigned with the Seahawks on the practice squad on Dec. 30.
