Haubeil was limited in 2020 with an injury but was productive when on the field. He went 24-for-24 on extra-point tries and 5-for-7 on field-goal tries. For his career, Haubeil made every one of 146 extra-point tries and went 28-for-35 on field goals, good for an 80% clip.
Haubeil occupies a number of spots on Ohio State’s all-time list. He is one of two kickers to kick more than 100 extra points in Buckeye history and make all of them. He is sixth all-time in field goals made, fourth in total points (230), and second all-time in field goal percentage.
Best of luck to Haubeil as he makes the transition to the NFL!
