This Season
The OU field goal unit struggled at times in 2023, potentially paving the way for a fresh face. Keltner brings a wealth of experience to the kicker position, where he will be competing with Zach Schmit and Gavin Marshall for the job. This will likely remain a competition throughout the offseason, but Keltner has a very real chance to earn the starting spot in year one in Norman.
