August 20, 200917 yr A well deserved honor for Aaron, I hope he has a great senior season. Don't worry oldrambler, you will see him kicking on Sundays next year.
August 20, 200917 yr I think Aaron Pettrey is a class act! As a matter of fact, his entire family is first rate. Congrats to Aaron and the Ohio State University.
August 20, 200917 yr Author A well deserved honor for Aaron, I hope he has a great senior season. Don't worry oldrambler, you will see him kicking on Sundays next year. This nomination is an epecially high honor just to be nominated. I believe that there were 30 place kickers named to the watch list. With 119 NCAA/football schools and most have more than one kcker..... that is putting him some very select company.
August 21, 200917 yr Congrats to Aaron. Glad to say I played 10 years of football with him! I despise OSU but always root for Aaron.
August 21, 200917 yr Congrats.. dont know much about him and his HS career but congrats. Played for the Raceland Rams from 2000-2003. Aaron holds the current Kentucky state field goal record at 58 yards, kicked in 2003 against the Berea Pirates. Holds the record for highest career completion percentage at 71.3%. And Ranks 3rd in completion percentage in a single season(2003) at 72.2%.
August 21, 200917 yr Hoping for a great season and future NFL career for Aaron. I got the priviledge to hold the ball for him a couple of times practicing a 60+ field goal, he never missed. He seemed like a great kid.
September 5, 200917 yr Author Aaron Pettry update: Aaron Pettry was 3-3 on FG's in today's game with Navy, hit from 23, 27 and 52 yards out. Pettry did miss a p.a.t. kick, only the 2nd miss of his carrer at OSU. Aaron only missed one FG last season splitting time on the FG duties.
September 8, 200917 yr As great as the 52 yard FG was (and it cleared by a mile), I guarantee you he is more upset with the missed PAT than he is happy with the FG.

Anyone that knows how he played the game and got on himself knew that look.
