Josh Huston (born February 28, 1982, in Findlay, Ohio) is a former American football placekicker. He was signed by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He played college football at Ohio State.
Huston was also a member of the Las Vegas Gladiators, New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals.
Huston played high school football at Findlay High School where he earned first-team All-Ohio honors as a junior. His holder at Findlay was the current National Football League quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. His high school career ended when the Findlay Trojans lost in the Division I regional semifinals to Grove City, 59-41.
After graduating in 2000, he signed to play for Ohio State. He was redshirted in 2000, and lost the kicking job to Mike Nugent in 2001. In 2002, he was injured again, prompting him to petition the NCAA for a medical redshirt, giving him a sixth year of eligibility. This petition was eventually granted, and after being a backup to Nugent in 2003 and 2004, he took over the starting duty for the Buckeyes in 2005. During that season, he established himself as one of the nation's top kickers, hitting 22 of 28 field goals and 44 of 45 extra points to score 110 points for the Buckeyes.
