Watch: New Cincinnati Kicker Stephen Rusnak Discusses Journey to UC And More

CINCINNATI — Stephen Rusnak has been booting kicks all spring for the Bearcats, getting more comfortable in his new home after staying perfect kicking all of 2024 at Charlotte.

He is entering 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. The sniper was one of two qualified kickers nationally to not miss a field goal try. He held other offers from schools like Missouri and Texas Tech before landing in Clifton.

This spring, Rusnak's looked like a strong addition to a special teams unit so far that flubbed down the stretch and went through a kicking change last season. Cincinnati ranked 83rd in total field goal percentage in 2024 (72.7%).
