Texas Kicker Bert Auburn Expresses Strong Enthusiasm for Miami, Says He’s ‘Feeling Great’ After Memorable Visit with the Hurricanes
In a major development on the college football recruiting front, Texas Longhorns standout kicker Bert Auburn has made waves by expressing strong enthusiasm for the University of Miami after a recent visit to the Hurricanes’ campus. Auburn, who has built a strong reputation with his powerful leg and clutch performances at Texas, spent time meeting with Miami’s coaching staff, touring the facilities, and immersing himself in the culture and vision of the Hurricanes’ football program.
Speaking after the visit, Auburn shared glowing reviews of his experience, stating, “I’m feeling great about Miami. Everything from the coaching staff, the facilities, and the energy around the program really impressed me. It’s a place that feels like home.”
Sources close to Auburn indicated that the visit made a deep impression on him, particularly the relationship he was able to build with Miami special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis and head coach Mario Cristobal. Auburn praised their passion for the game, their commitment to player development, and the vision they shared for the future of the Hurricanes’ program.
“The energy they have here is incredible,” Auburn said. “Coach Cristobal is building something special, and you can feel it the moment you walk into the facility. They made me feel valued, and they have a clear plan for how I can contribute immediately.”
Auburn, who has been one of the most reliable kickers in college football, made national headlines during his time at Texas for his consistency under pressure. His ability to deliver in critical moments has made him one of the most coveted kickers available in the transfer portal, and his potential addition to the Hurricanes’ roster could provide an immediate upgrade to their special teams unit.
Beyond football, Auburn also noted that the academic support at Miami, the campus atmosphere, and the chance to live in a vibrant city like Miami added to the overall appeal. “It’s not just about football,” Auburn said. “The university has great resources, a strong network, and it feels like a place where I can grow not just as a player, but as a person.”
While no official decision has been made yet, Auburn’s comments suggest that Miami has positioned itself as a strong favorite in his recruitment. Hurricane fans, eager for a return to national prominence, would no doubt welcome a player of Auburn’s caliber, especially given the crucial role special teams can play in close games.
For now, Auburn plans to take a little more time to weigh his options, but he emphasized that his experience in Coral Gables left a lasting impression. “It was everything I hoped it would be and more,” he concluded. “I’m excited about the possibilities.”
As the offseason heats up, all eyes will be on Auburn’s next move, but if his words are any indication, the Hurricanes could soon be adding a major piece to their roster.
