Reflecting on Michigan football’s 2023 transfer portal acquisitions, kicker James Turner emerged as a crucial addition to the team. Turner’s performance was particularly notable in the victory over Ohio State, where he successfully kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder that proved pivotal. Had Ohio State converted their long field goal attempt and Turner missed his, the game’s outcome could have been very different.

Turner’s impact extends beyond the scoreboard. His successful 50-yard kick forced Ohio State to pursue a more aggressive strategy on their final drive, as they would have only needed a field goal to win if Turner had missed. This underscores the importance of the kicking game in football.

Recognizing the need for a reliable kicker following Jake Moody’s departure, Michigan football recently added Dominic Zvada from Arkansas State. Zvada boasts impressive accuracy, having missed just one field goal in the 2023 season, which was blocked. Additionally, he has an exceptional record from distances of 40 yards or more, with a 12-of-14 success rate over two seasons, surpassing Turner’s performance from the previous season.

Given Michigan’s anticipated reliance on its defense and the importance of converting scoring opportunities into points, Zvada’s addition is significant. In a season where Michigan’s offense may face challenges, having a dependable kicker like Zvada could prove invaluable in securing points from field goal attempts within the 30-yard line, potentially making the difference in close games.
