Fans at both the college and NFL levels have been questioning what can be done to make onside kick attempts more exciting again.
Well, let us present to you Ohio’s kicker, who may have found a solution to that problem.
As you can see below, he kicks a line drive off a Kent State player’s helmet. The ball then bounces back to one of his teammates for the simple onside recovery:

That obviously isn’t great for the whole “contact to the helmet” concerns, but it was a unique and exciting way to recover a kick.
We’ll give the Ohio kicker the benefit of the doubt and assume he was actually trying to do this.
