Miami is actively recruiting today and has secured NC State transfer Kamal Bonner. Moments later, Texas transfer kicker Bert Auburn committed to Miami on Saturday afternoon.

During his time in Texas, he was named the all-time leading kicker in field goals, making 66 of them and scoring a total of 376 points.

Auburn was also included on the Lou Groza Award preseason watch list this past season, which recognizes the nation’s top kicker. He completed the 2024 season with a field goal accuracy of 16 out of 25 attempts.

In December, Miami added Carter Davis, who served as a kickoff specialist for FAU over the past two seasons. Davis achieved an impressive 81 percent touchback rate this season, successfully recording 45 touchbacks out of 61 kicks.

Phil Steele named Auburn to the 2024 Preseason All-America Second Team and the media’s Preseason All-SEC First Team this past college football season.

Welcome to Miami! Also, look at that hair!

This is the worst take of Mario’s portal tenure. You couldn’t get some young kicker from some random directional school that actually can hit more than 70% of his kicks?
 
I’ll take an experience, SEC level kicker after just losing what might be the best kicker we ever had. Good move to sure this up.
 
Hopefully we’ve been studying the Brotherly Shove to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking FGs.
 
Few options and no way we could just roll with Carter Davis. Now let's just hope he returns to his 2022 and 2023 form.
 
From poor kicker to mid kicker is still improvement, I guess. As with our QB, hopefully carrot top is closer to his 2023 self than the 2024 version.
 
You idiots want to tamper for a kicker. If they aren’t in the portal, how else would you get them?
 
He is almost 80% in his career. Missed 9 FG last year. Only missed 11 total in previous 2 years. He is a take

2 things:

1. He’s a career 76.7% place K which is not good
2. He’s actually regressed every season:

2022: Missed 5 FGs
2023: Missed 6 FGs
2024: Missed 9 FGs

K r very skittish. The only thing we can hope for is a change of scenery will help his mental, b/c when K’s start missing FGs, they r no different than golfers that can’t get their swing back.
