Ohio State’s special teams just got a serious upgrade for 2026. The Buckeyes landed Cooper Peterson, a North Carolina kicker with a huge leg, as a preferred walk-on. He’ll compete with Baylor transfer Connor Hawkins, who’s expected to start, but now there’s real depth and competition at a spot that’s been shaky in recent years. Peterson’s stats are impressive—he’s nailed kicks from nearly 60 yards and dominated touchbacks. With Jayden Fielding out of eligibility and Jackson Courville transferring, this move could finally bring some consistency to the Buckeyes’ kicking game. How do you feel about the new direction for Ohio State’s roster? #Sports #Football #OhioState
