Ohio State Kicker Parker Lewis Cleared to Play by NCAA

Parker Lewis is now eligible to play for Ohio State.

Lewis has been cleared to play by the NCAA, Eleven Warriors has confirmed, making him immediately eligible to play as soon as this week after he missed the first four games of the season due to an eligibility issue following his transfer from USC.

The junior kicker, who has three remaining years of eligibility, gives Ohio State another option at kicker along with Noah Ruggles and Jayden Fielding. While it would come as a surprise if Ruggles does not continue kicking field goals and extra points, Lewis gives the Buckeyes another option on kickoffs, which Fielding has handled for the first four games.
