The Bearcats added several transfers this week including former Arizona State freshman kicker Carter Brown, who connected on 11/14 field goals with a career-long 53-yard kick last year.
Brown started his freshman campaign with a perfect regular season debut against Northern Arizona, going 4/4 on extra points and 4/4 on field goal attempts in a 40-3 win.
Cincinnati was in the market for a transfer kicker after junior Ryan Coe departed for North Carolina last month and Brown is presumably set to take over the starting role next season.
Stay tuned as the Bearcats continue to recruit the portal with recent commitments from Brown alongside fellow Arizona State transfers in quarterback Emory Jones and kick returner DJ Taylor.

Cincinnati Football: Bearcats land former Arizona State kick return specialist DJ Taylor
Cincinnati first-year head coach Scott Satterfield landed a handful of transfers in recent days including former Arizona State junior defensive back and kick return specialist DJ Taylor.
After spending three seasons in Tempe, Taylor decided to enter the transfer portal in late December and announced his commitment to join the Bearcats on Monday afternoon.
Taylor became the third Sun Devils transfer to commit to Cincinnati this offseason alongside graduate student quarterback Emory Jones and freshman place kicker Caleb Brown.
During his career at Arizona State, Taylor totaled 1,232 return yards and one touchdown on 66 attempts, highlighted by a 100-yard kick off return touchdown against Arizona in 2020.
