We are counting down the top 50 Nebraska football players you need to know heading into the season.<\/p>\n
No. 32 Kyle Cunanan<\/p>\n
Cunanan beat out John Hohl and Tristan Alvano for the kicking job last year and helped bring stability to a special teams unit that lacked it in 2024. He was 16 of 19 on field goals, including a 52-yarder in his Nebraska debut against Cincinnati, and made all 45 of his extra point attempts.<\/p>\n
Cunanan began his career at Charlotte and spent the 2025 spring season at Cal before transferring to Nebraska.<\/p>\n
Alvano transferred to South Dakota State over the offseason. Hohl remains on the team as a kickoff specialist, but there\u2019s little in Cunanan\u2019s way toward being the starting kicker for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are counting down the top 50 Nebraska football players you need to know heading into the season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":743190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[6177,17390,9244,399,17361,318612,9643,398,6169,396,397,31031,31030,31029,99],"class_list":["post-743189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-american-football","tag-american-football-playoffs","tag-college-football-conference-seasons","tag-football","tag-gridiron-football","tag-journalstar-com","tag-national-football-league","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-division-i-fbs-football-teams","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-nfl-seasons","tag-nfl-teams","tag-nfl-teams-seasons","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=743189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/743190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=743189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=743189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=743189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
