Former Ball State Kicker Jackson Courville Commits to Ohio State
Former Ball State kicker Jackson Courville commits to Ohio State, giving the Buckeyes another experienced kicker alongside Jayden Fielding.
Former Ball State Kicker Jackson Courville Commits to Ohio State
Courville comes to Columbus with two years of eligibility remaining, having spent two seasons as Ball State's primary kicker. He made 26-of-34 field goals in a two-year stretch and was 11-of-13 on field goals last season. Last year, Courville was 2-for-2 on field goals of 50 yards or more, with a career-long make of 52.
Courville was 54-of-56 on extra points in his Ball State career, missing one in each of his first two seasons.
It's possible Courville could redshirt this season and sit behind Fielding if he doesn't win the job in camp, then be the primary option for the Buckeyes in 2026 and beyond.

Ohio State’s latest transfer portal addition has the chance to take a starting job away from a current Buckeye
Adding Courville through the transfer portal gives the Buckeyes a kicker who will compete with Jayden Fielding for the starting job this fall. Courville spent the last two seasons at Ball State, going 26-of-34 on field goals during that span, including 11-of-13 last season. Fielding, by comparison, is 29-of-37 over the past two seasons and went 13-of-17 on field goals in 2024.Courville was 2-for-2 on field goals from 50 yards or more in 2024, an area where he could bring added value to Ohio State. Fielding has been accurate from inside 50 yards but is 0-for-2 on attempts beyond that distance.
