McLarty becomes the only scholarship punter on the Buckeyes’ 2024 roster and a candidate to compete for the Buckeyes’ starting punting job with fellow Australian punter Joe McGuire, a walk-on. They’ll be competing to replace another punter from Australia, Jesse Mirco, who transferred to Vanderbilt this offseason.

McLarty will enroll at Ohio State this summer.
