They put Zane Gonzalez on IR. Looks like Nugent is getting another 1 week callup, for now.

I was just reading his earnings breakdown on Spotrac and Over The Cap. It's a little difficult to interpret exactly with all the short term contracts and practice squad stuff, but I think Spotrac is claiming he's getting $192,000 this year for the practice squad plus $61,000 every week he's called up. So he's going to endup at least $250,000-300,000 for kicking in 2 games. If he gets a full promotion to the active roster, even more money for perhaps a 1/4 season's work.

Maybe the sickest weapon we've ever had
Get to the 35 yard line and it's an automatic 3 points and a touchback. Coach Tressels' dream player.

Buckeye Heroes: Mike Nugent is undoubtedly the best kicker in Ohio State history
The 2004 Lou Groza Award winner holds most of the school’s kicking records.:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73459855/1424286.0.jpg)
There are so many challenges college football coaches have to deal with on and off the field. One of those on the field challenges is finding a reliable place kicker.
Even if you think you have a kicker who is nearly automatic, it seems to never fail that they end up missing when the game is on the line. Just look at Noah Ruggles in the 2022 season, where he was 17-19 before missing a really tough 50-yard field goal with the Buckeyes trailing Georgia by a point late in the fourth quarter.
When it comes to the most reliable kicker in Ohio State history, there is no doubt who has earned that title. Aside from career and single season field goal percentage, which are both held by Ruggles, Mike Nugent holds pretty much every other Ohio State kicking record. Nugent came to Ohio State from Centerville, where he was a teammate of linebacker A.J. Hawk.
Heading into the 2001 season, not only was Jim Tressel trying to find his footing as he transitioned from Youngstown State to Ohio State, the Buckeyes were looking for a new kicker. Mike Nugent and Josh Huston battled it out for the starting position, with Nugent eventually winning the job.
The first year for Nugent wasn’t anything special statistically, as he was 7-14 in field goals and 23-25 on extra points. Luckily for Nugent, Tressel had some patience with the kicker since not only was Nugent a freshman, the Buckeyes were just 7-5 in Tressel’s first season in Columbus.
The 2002 season is where Nugent started to break out and assert himself as one of the top kickers in the country. Not only did Nugent hit 25 of his 28 field goal attempts, he hit all but one of his 46 extra point attempts. Nugent finished the season with 120 total points on an Ohio State team that went on to upset Miami in the BCS National Championship Game.

Automatic 3 points and a touch back as soon as he came in the field!
