Jonathan Ruffin was a record-setting, award-winning Cincinnati kicker
Ruffin was one of Cincinnati’s all-time best special teams weapons: in the 2000 season he won the Lou Groza Award, led the nation with 26 field goals, and finished his Bearcats career as the school’s leader in field goals and points. His value was consistency under pressure—he made a field goal in every game that season and delivered multiple four-FG games. If you want a kicker with proven production, big-game steadiness, and elite college pedigree, he fit the bill.
