No member of Ohio State’s 2024 freshman class came to Columbus from further away than punter Nick McLarty.
While the rest of the Buckeyes’ newcomers are from all over the United States, McLarty is in his first months living in America after growing up in Melbourne, Australia. Since enrolling at Ohio State this summer, McLarty has had to get used to a 14-hour time difference, meaning his parents have already started a new day when he calls them at night.
That wasn’t an easy adjustment for the new OSU specialist at first, he acknowledged last week. But he says he’s gotten used to it over time.
