FWIW, Hondo, a local reporter who is a bit of a joke, (he was the one who got the pub at Media Days) was saying this week that someone other than Lombardi would be punting, but he wouldn't say. Nobody took him fully seriously, but there's an in state punter, who was on scholarship at the FCS level, went to Illinois as a preferred walk on, but quit who now changed his Twitter profile to MSU Class of '21.
How internet sleuths find this stuff, I'll never know.
