The Path to Norman

Jacob Ulrich was a product of the Georgia high school system. After winning a Class 7A State Championship as a senior, he started his college football journey at Kennesaw State. He took a redshirt season in 2023 before becoming a starter in 2024. Following that season, he entered the portal and joined the Sooners.

Career so Far

Ulrich took a redshirt season in 2023, but did play in two games and make a field goal.

In 2024, Ulrich became the starter at punter. He played in all 12 games and averaged 45 yards per punt. Ulrich was recognized as the First Team All-CUSA punter.

2025 was Ulrich’s first season with the Sooners. It appeared that he would take over as the starting punter; an injury made that last just one game. However, he did stay engaged and served as the holder for kicks throughout the year.
