Cunanan began his career at Charlotte, going 9-for-15 on field goals and 16-for-16 on PATs as a true freshman in 2023. He also had 21 touchbacks on kickoff that season.

In 2024, Cunanan saw action in just three games. He went 5-for-5 on field goals and had one touchback on kickoff.

During the winter transfer portal window, Cunanan elected to transfer to Cal. He spent the spring in Berkeley but told HuskerOnline that he decided to transfer because the major he wanted wasn't offered at Cal.

That major is construction management, which the University of Nebraska at Lincoln offers.

Earlier this week, reserve Husker placekicker Nico Ottomanelli hit the portal. Nebraska seemed to still be in a good position with Tristan Alvano and John Hohl, both underclassmen, returning.

The addition of Cunanan means the Big Red have three kickers on the roster that have three seasons of eligibility remaining each. That trio has combined to make 36-of-54 field goals the past two seasons. The longest kick made by each is 49 yards for Cunanan, 54 yards by Hohl and 55 yards by Alvano.
