Nick McLarty Hit the Field for the First Time at Ohio State and the Australian is Massive

Nick McLarty wasn't hard to notice at Ohio State's practice on Thursday.

That is meant figuratively due to his punting power, but also literally as he towers above the rest of the Buckeyes' punters – and most of their players in general – at 6-foot-7.

The Australian arrived at Ohio State this summer from Melbourne, Australia, where he played Aussie Rules Football and trained at Caulfield Grammar & Punt Factory.
