He's been a starter for two games and served as the kickoff specialist most of last season, but only now is Blake Haubeil an "official" member of the Buckeye football team, shedding his black stripe after Tuesday's practice.
Oh yeah. That happened. @BlakeHaubeil (finally) got that black stripe off @BuckSpecialists officially have a "new" one... #GoBucks #WinTheMoment pic.twitter.com/7vWKAtFHMH

Haubeil has served as the starting placekicker for the past two games with Sean Nuernberger out with an injury, and he's been impressive, hitting 5-for-6 field goals and all five extra points.
The sophomore kicker also served as Ohio State's kickoff specialist most of last season, handling at least one kickoff in all 13 games.
