Special Teams

Kicker: Blake Haubeil

Punter: Drue Chrisman

Long-Snapper: Roen McCollough

Blake Haubeil and Drue Chrisman are both back for their senior seasons and should be one of the best kicker/punter duos in the country. Haubeil was perfect from 40-plus yards last season, including a 55-yarder at Northwestern. Chrisman is a punting technician, consistently pinning teams inside the ten-yard line.

At long-snapper, the Buckeyes will trade Liam McCollough for his brother Roen, who will hope to avoid attention by doing his overlooked but very important job well.

Kick Returner: Demario McCall

Punt Returner: Garrett Wilson

Both returners are back from 2019. Should Demario McCall choose to transfer, replacement candidates should include Garrett Williams, Jaelen Gill or perhaps even the freshman Mookie Cooper. Wilson will look to improve on his flashes of brilliance in the return game last year while erasing a few muffed punts as well.
