2025 tOSU Special Teams Discussion

All well and good, but what he did in the CFP is the minimum that he's supposed to do. The only reason it's being recognized is because of how he crapped the bed in The Game. Surely, we're planning to bring in some competition when the portal is open.

Currently the back up to Jayden Fielding is Casey Magyar. He attended high school in Dublin OH and came to Ohio State as a preferred walk on transfer from Kent State. In 2021 he made 1 of 2 extra point kicks for Kent State. His Ohio State bio is as follows:

Ohio State Overview
• Casey was a preferred walk-on to the team in the spring of 2023 and is in his second season with the program after transferring from Kent State
• He is an OSU Scholar-Athlete who is majoring in mathematics

Honors & Awards
2023: OSU Scholar-Athlete

More on Casey
• Casey spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons playing for Kent State
• Made his collegiate debut in the 2021 home opener against VMI, making one PAT
• Also saw time against Western Michigan attempting one PAT
• Was a second-team All-Ohio and first-team All-District kicker for Coffman

Just sayin': Yeah, we definitely need another placekicker.

Venneri averaged 43.96 yards per punt for the Bulls in 2023, finishing 30th in the FBS in punting average – one spot ahead of former Ohio State punter Jesse Mirco, who transferred to Vanderbilt in January after averaging 43.69 yards per punt in 2023. Venneri broke his own single-season school record for punting average of 43 yards per punt in 2022, when he earned Freshman All-American honors from the FWAA.



A 6-foot, 225-pound punter from Hamilton, Ontario, Venneri brings two years of eligibility to Ohio State.

He’ll enter what now becomes a three-way competition for the starting punting job at Ohio State this season. A pair of punters from Australia, redshirt freshman Joe McGuire and incoming freshman Nick McLarty – the only scholarship punter on the roster – will also compete for the job in preseason camp. Venneri will have the advantage of experience in that competition as neither McLarty nor McGuire has punted in a collegiate game.
