Walk-on Patrick O’Hara, who took over place-kicking duties in November for slumping Jimmy Stevens, will begin the season as the starter.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops picked the sophomore over a few candidates although he has expressed disappointment over the group’s inconsistency during August camp.
“[O’Hara] in my eyes has been a little more consistent than everyone else and needs to be given an opportunity to keep [the job] and improve with it, as opposed to some knee-jerk reaction after every kick,” Stoops said.
O’Hara is a former soccer player who converted 6-of-9 field-goal attempts and all 15 of his PATs.
