CINCINNATI KICKER JAKE SEIBERT COMMITS TO OHIO STATE
His commitment gives Ohio State its kicker for the 2020 class, and he is expected to grayshirt, which means he will pay his semester through his first semester before getting on scholarship. The Buckeyes have just one kicker currently on scholarship – junior Blake Haubeil.

WHAT JAKE SEIBERT'S COMMITMENT MEANS TO OHIO STATE'S 2020 RECRUITING CLASS
Finding the right fit for your college football program isn't just about what happens on the field, but off it as well. Today, Ohio State added a key piece. How will that commitment impact the Buckeyes?
Ohio State landed its kicker for the 2020 class, as new head coach Ryan Day retools his roster during his first full offseason as the head coach of the Buckeyes.
Jake Seibert is rated as the No. 1 kicker in the 2020 class by Chris Sailer, a former All-American punter and kicker at UCLA, on ChrisSailerKicking.com – a site that represents a top-tier kicking camp in the country. The Cincinnati-native chose Ohio State over UCLA, Michigan State and others.
This is how Seibert’s commitment impacts the Ohio State 2020 class.
ON THE FIELD
With one look at Seibert’s tape, it’s easy to see why Ohio State was recruiting him. The La Salle High School kicker makes 50-yard field goals look easy, and his kickoffs sail out of the end zone so often that opposing returners typically don’t even try to run the ball down.
“Jake is a special kicking talent,” Chris Sailer wrote on Seibert’s ChrisSailerKicking.com profile. “He is an amazing athlete with a big time leg and natural ability. He hits a great ball off the ground on field goal. He has 60-plus yard range and gets excellent lift on his ball. His kickoffs are D1 ready right now. Jake drives the ball deep into the end zone with 4.0-second--plus hang time. He is a competitor that thrives under pressure. The sky is the limit here. Jake is a fine young man with a great attitude and work ethic.”
Through the camp, Seibert won the 2018 TOP 12 Last Man Standing Field Goal competition and was named to the Chris Sailer TOP 12 list. He has also been invited to the 2019 camp, which is an honor for most kickers in the country.
Seibert hit all six of his field goal attempts as a junior in 2018, and he recorded 29 touchbacks on 37 kickoffs.

JAKE SEIBERT WAS LEFT WITH NO CONNECTION TO OHIO STATE, COMMITTED FIVE MONTHS LATER
Ohio State kicker commit Jake Seibert lost all of his connections to Ohio State in January, except for Drue Chrisman. That was all he needed to become the next kicker for the Buckeyes.
There was a point in Jake Seibert’s recruitment when he lost all connection to Ohio State.
Seibert had been in talks with the Buckeye staff dating back to Taver Johnson’s time on staff. The two had developed a good relationship, and Seibert was feeling positive about his chances at playing for his home-state’s school. Then it was announced in early-January that Johnson would not be returning to the Ohio State staff.
Once Johnson left Columbus for his job with the Oakland Raiders, Seibert’s connection to Ohio State was effectively eliminated.
Now, just six months later, Seibert is committed to be Ohio State’s kicker from the 2020 class, and the No. 2 kicker in the nation has only one goal in mind before he hits campus in Columbus.
“I’m hoping to be better than Mike Nugent was,” Seibert told Eleven Warriors. “I want to be the best kicker to ever come through Ohio State.”
Only a year ago, the Cincinnati kicker wasn’t thinking about kicking collegiately yet. He was working with a local specialists trainer – the same trainer that still works with Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman from time to time – trying to be the best kicker he could be for La Salle High School.
Then, he attended a small-scale camp ran by former Cincinnati kicker Andrew Gantz, who was entering his graduate transfer year at Northern Illinois in late-spring 2018. Seibert won the camp, and soon after, Gantz became his new trainer.
After winning a free Chris Sailer Camp admission, Seibert traveled to Las Vegas and competed well there too. But it was the next camp – the national TOP 12 Chris Sailer Camp in Los Angeles – where Seibert realized exactly how good he was.
Out of 45 kickers and punters at the camp, he was one of few 2020 prospects to be invited. When the time came for Sailer, a former All-American punter at UCLA and one of the top specialist evaluators in the nation, to name a top-12, Seibert was included. He was the only 2020 recruit to make the cut. He also made the cut last week in Los Angeles at the same camp for 2019 and owns a five-star rating on ChrisSailerKicking.com.
“Not really,” Seibert said when asked if he considered where his ceiling might be as a kicker during those camps. “I’m nowhere near as strong as I could possibly get. I know the Ohio State strength program will get me much bigger than I am. I can get so much stronger and so much more flexible.”

JAKE SEIBERT
At La Salle, Jake Seibert hit all six of his field goal attempts. La Salle has a pretty decent offense, so his coaching staff is less likely to pull the trigger on field goals near the endzone. The understanding that the best kicker in the country is on the roster might earn Seibert a few more opportunities during his senior year. The longest field goal he’s ever hit in a game is from 47 yards out, so he could also look to break 50 in 2019.
First Game: vs. Lakota West, Aug 30
Game to Watch: any of vs. Mansfield (Sept. 13), at Archbishop Moeller (Oct. 4), at St. Xavier (Oct. 18), vs. Winton Woods (Oct. 25), vs. Elder (Nov. 1)
Those are all games that a coaching staff would take a risk with his kicker in. The scores will likely be fairly close, so any points are significant. Seibert might even have a chance at a game-winning kick.
