For the second year in a row, Jayden Fielding enters the College Football Playoff looking to bounce back from a costly miss in Ohio State’s final game before the CFP.
In 2024, Fielding entered the CFP having missed two field goals in Ohio State’s 13-10 loss to Michigan. He came up short on his only field goal attempt in Ohio State’s first-round CFP win over Tennessee, a 56-yard kick in cold weather that would have been tough for any kicker, but made all four of his field goal attempts in Ohio State’s final three playoff games, including a game-clinching 33-yard field goal in the final minute of the Buckeyes’ national championship win over Notre Dame.
