A three-time All-MAC selection, Jeremiah Detmer was the 2013 MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. That season, Detmer was a Lou Groza Award (nation's top kicker) semifinalist, a year in which he also made first-team All-MAC, connecting on 19-of-20 field goals and 44-of-45 extra points. Detmer is second on Toledo's all-time field-goal list with 65, trailing only Rusty Hanna (68 from 1989-92), and seventh all-time among MAC kickers. He is the MAC's all-time leader in field-goal percentage (65-77/84.4%), and ranks third in points scored in Toledo history with 340. His long field goal of 52 yards ranks second in Toledo history. Detmer was named MAC West Division Special Teams Player of the Week nine times during his career. He ranked No. 44 on Toledo's All-Century Team released in 2017 and was the only kicker on the list. As a freshman in 2011, Detmer was used mostly for kickoffs but still hit field goals of 50 and 52 yards. He took over the field-goal duties full time in 2012, at one point making 17 field goals in a row. He ended the season hitting 24-of-29 boots, earning third-team All-MAC honors. His best game in 2012 came in a 29-23 win over No. 18 Cincinnati in which he hit all five of his field-goal attempts. In 2013, he extended his consecutive field-goal streak to 23, the fifth-longest streak in NCAA history. He also ranked second in the nation in field goal percentage (95.0%). As a senior co-captain, he made second-team All-MAC, connecting on 17-of-22 field goals and nailing 57-of-59 extra points. A three-time Academic All-MAC selection, Detmer made Academic All-District in 2013. He graduated with a degree in education in 2015 and currently serves as a Toledo fire fighter.
