Miami football 2020 preview: Special teams

The 2019 season was frustrating in many ways for the Miami Hurricanes. But one major weakness from 2019 may be just as much of a strength for the team this season.

Former Florida International University placekicker Jose Borregales transferred to Miami as a graduate student in the offseason and he will provide a level of consistency to the kicking game that has been absent since the graduation of former UM placekicker Michael Badgley in 2017.

Borregales is an absolute upgrade from last year’s initial starting kicker Bubba Baxa, who transferred to the University of Houston in the offseason.
