CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are welcoming a new kicker to help solidify that position in former Charlotte standout Stephen Rusnak.

The transfer is trying to boost a field goal unit that ranked in the bottom half nationally last season. The veteran is in his final season of eligibility after going 11-11 on field goal tries this past season, including 3-3 from 50-plus yards, and 25-25 on extra points. He was one of two qualified kickers nationally to not miss a field goal try. 

Hear from Rusnak on why he picked Cincinnati and more in another Transfer Tuesday segment from the UC media team:
