Luke Phillips

One of the mos talented kickers in the country, Luke Phillips returns for his senior season with a chance to solidify that position. He was the Special Teams MVP of the 2002 Houston Bowl after nailing four field goals, including a 52 yarder, against Southern Miss. For the past two seasons, he has been almost automatic in field goal and PAT situations. In two seasons as a regular, he's missed only one extra point attempt (82 of 83) and he hit nearly 79 percent of his field goal attempts. He was the team leader in scoring with 72 points two years ago, and followed that with 88 points last season, second only to Rashaun Woods in points scored. Luke has appeared on the Lou Groza Watch List, and should be there again. His 160 career points rank him 12th on OSU's all-time scoring chart, just behind David Thompson (162).
