Former soccer pro turned clutch Buckeye kicker
In the 2010 season, Devin Barclay was one of Ohio State’s most reliable specialists, making 20 of 24 field goals and all 62 extra points, with his biggest differentiator being composure under pressure after arriving as a walk-on and converting the Rose Bowl-clinching overtime kick against Iowa in 2009. He brings unusual poise, a pro-soccer background, and a comeback story that signals toughness and adaptability, but his profile is more about steady short-to-midrange accuracy than booming leg strength. If you want a calm, dependable kicker with big-moment nerve, he’s your guy.
