Duke kickoff specialist Jack Willoughby transferring to Ohio State, per report

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- On the list of positions Ohio State has to fill this season, kickoff specialist is at the bottom. You probably haven't even thought about it.

Urban Meyer was. And he's bringing in a player to fill the void.

According to a report from The Duke Chronicle, Duke kickoff specialist Jack Willoughby will transfer to Ohio State. Willoughby, a graduate transfer, would be eligible to play immediately.

"I made a list of every team in the country that I would want to play for in the big conferences and then started to narrow down based on who had a senior kicker graduating or who could use someone like me to step in and compete for kicking duties," Willoughby, who reportedly visited Ohio State on April 4, told The Chronicle.
