Was just about to post the same. Don't have the stats memorized obviously but I remember Cunningham being a very good, and very reliable kicker.

I had Jason pegged for the NFL, but never got in, I believe he played in the CFL though.

Well there was that guy that beat Mason Crosby in a head to head... He was pretty good!

Daly, Stenerud. That's the list

If Stenerud wasn't amazing in his two years at MSU, Cunningham is 100% the best kicker MSU has ever had. Ranks near the top of EVERY kicking list MSU has. Nothing against Daly because he was an immense talent but Cunningham also had a leg...and was accurate.

Fail by me. Cunningham is who I had in my head, but Daly was the only name that bubbled up. Yes, replace Daly with Cunningham.

Again though...not faulting you for thinking about Daly. He was on his way to being an all-timer.

Never played in the CFL, got a tryout at KC I think, and kicked for a semi pro team for a bit, but went to work using his Engineering degree. My wife still texts with his mom every gameday.

I'll nominate Zach Minter for the 2009 EWU game, just because he was willing to go out there and try to kick!
