The man responsible for Ohio State's place kicking during its most recent national championship run played in more games that season than the last two combined. Sean Nuernberger still has two seasons of college eligibility remaining.
The Buckeyes — and Nuernberger — suited up 15 times in 2014. In the two years since the former starting kicker has participated in only seven games — none in 2016.
Nuernberger battled what Urban Meyer described as a groin injury during fall camp last year. It caused him to lose his job to walk-on and former James Madison soccer player Tyler Durbin, who finished the year 17-of-21 on field goals and 63-of-65 on extra points.
