Jayden Fielding

As a freshman in 2022, Fielding handled kickoff duties in all 13 games for the Buckeyes. He opened the 2023 season as the starting kicker, beating out Parker Lewis for the job after the graduation of Noah Ruggles. In his first start, Fielding went three for three on his field goals and two for two on extra points in a win over Indiana. In week 6, he made all three of his field goal attempts and all four of his extra point attempts in a win over Maryland. On January 20, 2025, Fielding kicked the game-sealing field goal in the 2025 College Football National Championship game, giving the Buckeyes a 34–23 win over Notre Dame. On December 7, 2025, Fielding missed a game-tying 27-yard shot, causing the Buckeyes to lose to Indiana at the Big Ten Championship game.

Fielding attended Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas, and later transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. As a senior, he converted 91 percent of his kickoffs for touchbacks and had a long field goal of 50 yards. Fielding committed to play college football at Ohio State University as a preferred walk-on.
