Huskers kicker John Hohl getting recognized for clutch performances

John Hohl came through in the clutch for the Huskers on Saturday.

Nebraska football offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield has been impressed with the work kicker John Hohl is doing. Former starting kicker Tristan Alvano is on the mend, and the offensive coordinator gave full praise on Tuesday afternoon.

Hohl had a stellar game against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. He kept the Huskers close throughout it, making all three of his field goals for nine points. A 54-yard kick was his longest of the afternoon.

The freshman has gone four-of-eight on-field goals for the year and made all 11 of his extra points.

Satterfield gave him praise during his press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s amazing. He just put on a show out here today. I’ll let Coach (Rhule) tell you all about that. Coach was putting him in some weird situations with the wind and he just kept coming through. It’s from a lot of hard work. We watch him every day, we come up to him as a team and watch him kick. From where it started to where it is now has been really cool to watch, how he’s developed and worked at it.”

Hohl’s development and stellar play could be important. Nebraska has been searching for stability in the kicking game throughout the entire season. A strong finish to the 2024 campaign could allow the coaching staff to have some flexibility for this year and beyond.
