Noah Ruggles Returning to Ohio State After Taking Spring Off, But Still Has to Compete to Keep Kicking Job

Parker Fleming isn’t concerned about Noah Ruggles’ spring absence affecting his performance this fall, but Fleming believes Ruggles can benefit from facing competition this summer.

While it’s unusual for a college football player to skip spring practices, Parker Fleming isn’t worried about Noah Ruggles’ absence from Ohio State this spring affecting his performance this fall.

While Ruggles was not enrolled at Ohio State for the spring semester, Fleming and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day both said Friday that the sixth-year senior kicker will be back with the Buckeyes this summer. Fleming said he was in regular contact with Ruggles throughout the spring, but he wasn’t giving Ruggles specific instructions of what to do while he was away from campus. Rather, Fleming just wanted to make sure Ruggles knew Fleming and the rest of Ohio State’s coaching staff was there for him if he needed anything.
