Ohio State football continues to strengthen its roster through the transfer portal, this time adding depth to its special teams with the addition of a new kicker. The Buckeyes secured a commitment from a veteran kicker who brings experience and consistency, a move that could prove crucial during the upcoming season.
While the Buckeyes have long been known for their high-powered offense and dominant defense, the importance of a reliable kicker cannot be overstated—especially in close, high-stakes games where every point counts. This latest transfer is expected to compete immediately for the starting role or provide critical backup support.
Head coach Ryan Day and special teams coordinator Parker Fleming have emphasized the need to shore up special teams heading into the fall. With field goal percentages and kickoff depth playing a major role in momentum swings, this addition is a strategic one that reflects Ohio State’s commitment to excellence in all phases of the game.
Fans can expect a competitive environment in camp as the new kicker integrates with the squad and begins working with the long snapper and holder to build timing and chemistry. While not the flashiest offseason headline, this transfer could quietly be one of the most important moves of the Buckeyes’ 2025 campaign.
As part of your morning Buckeye Breakfast, this news signals Ohio State’s continued push to leave no stone unturned in pursuit of a national championship. Stay tuned for more updates as roster decisions unfold ahead of the season.
