2016 Season Countdown: #88 Ryan Tice


June 2, 2016

Name: Ryan Tice
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 181 lbs.
High school: Saline (MI) Saline
Position: Punter
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #41
Last year: I didn’t rank Tice. He redshirted.

Tice enrolled early in January of 2015 and has now finished two spring football sessions. I have yet to hear any buzz on him, and he is unlikely to contribute in a meaningful way this season. Starting placekicker Kenny Allen returns for his fifth year, and he’s likely to grab the punting job, too. Michigan also recruited Quinn Nordin in the 2016 class, and Nordin can also contribute in both phases of the kicking game. It might not be ideal to have one guy holding down both the punting and kicking duties, so if Tice can make some strides with his punting abilities, then he has a chance to make things a bit easier on Allen.

Prediction: Backup punter
