Former Ohio State punter Ben Buchanan built a reputation for durability and steady field-position control
Ben Buchanan was a dependable Ohio State punter whose game was built on consistency, not flash: he finished his Buckeye career with 177 punts and a 41.1-yard average, ranking fourth in school history in punts at the time. A four-year letterman and Ohio State Medal of Honor finalist, he stood out for reliability, leadership, and high character rather than raw leg strength alone. If you value a punt specialist who can stabilize field position and add maturity to a locker room, Buchanan fits that profile.
