Stoyanovich demonstrated his all-around skills with six touchbacks on kickoffs, five extra points, 20 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and two defensive fumble recoveries, including a 40-yard return touchdown. Commenting on his multifaceted abilities, coach Jeff Henson praised Stoyanovich's versatility, stating, \"He can run. He can hit. He can do whatever we ask him to do. And he’s tough.\" Stoyanovich's family has a history of successful kickers, with his uncle Pete playing in the NFL and his father Bill playing at Michigan State and in the Arena Football League. The youngest of six siblings, Stoyanovich is motivated by his family's athletic prowess. His career-long field goal is 62 yards, and his commitment to hard work has earned him recognition as the sixth-ranked 2028 kicker in the nation.",
