Ohio State was the first school to contact former USC kicker Parker Lewis when he entered the transfer portal, and he’s considering the Buckeyes after visiting for the spring game.
Even though the Buckeyes have a returning Lou Groza Award finalist in Noah Ruggles, they hosted former USC kicker Parker Lewis for a visit on spring game weekend. In fact, Ohio State was the first school to reach out to Lewis when he entered the transfer portal in December.
“What they said is, 'This wouldn't be Ohio State if we played favorites,'” Lewis, who made 17 of his 22 field goal attempts last season, told. “So they obviously are interested in me doing kickoffs, but I'm very interested in having the field goal job as well.“I believe I’m one of the better kickers in the country.”While Lewis was USC’s starting kicker for the past two seasons, he said his years with the Trojans were difficult because of coaching staff changes that took place.
“Before I was committed to USC, Ohio State was my team that I rooted for because I was watching all of Blake’s games,” Lewis said. Lewis was also a teammate of current Ohio State cornerback Denzel Burke at Saguaro High School , and he likes what he’s heard from Burke about the Buckeyes, too.
