Ohio State punter, Jesse Mirco finds new home down south

Jesse Mirco is heading to the SEC.

Last week we told you Jesse Mirco somewhat unexpectedly entered the transfer portal. Today we found out exactly where the former Ohio State punter will take his talents. Mirco announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he’ll be heading to Nashville to play at Vanderbilt.

Mirco will have one year of eligibility left after spending his first three years in Columbus. The Aussie punter averaged just shy of 44 yards per punt and landed 55 punts inside of the 20 during his time in Scarlet and Gray.

In what was an offensive clunker of a Cotton Bowl for the Buckeyes, Mirco shined having one of his best games ever where he averaged just over 48 yards per punt. It was one of the few highlights in what was a forgettable effort against Missouri.

Mirco is the 11th member of the football team to find a new home via the transfer portal.
