CINCINNATI — Our first Pinging The Portal of the 2024 cycle kicks off with an offer to Charlotte kicker Stephen Rusnak.

He is entering his final season of eligibility after going 11-11 on field goal tries this season, including 3-3 from 50-plus yards, and 25-25 on extra points. The sniper was one of two qualified kickers nationally to not miss a field goal try this season.

Check out some of his highlights below as Cincinnati tries to boost its special teams:

After much thought and consideration, I have entered the Transfer Portal for my final year of eligibility. Thank you to Charlotte for everything, forever a 49er.
