Purdue’s clutch-but-frustrating leg with proven big-game range
Ben Jones was a dangerous Purdue kicker in the 2003 season, going 25-of-30 on field goals and 36-of-37 on extra points while setting a school season record and tying the Big Ten mark with 25 field goals; he was also a Lou Groza semifinalist[4]. He brings proven range and volume, but the profile also shows some inconsistency—his field-goal percentage has been listed at 69.4% across his Purdue career and 57% in a 2005 stat snapshot, so he looks like a high-ceiling, high-variance specialist rather than a sure-thing banker[1][14].
