Rourke Davis has the leg, but the early 2026 numbers are still catching up
In the 2026 season, Miles kicker Rourke Davis has shown real volume and trust as the Golden Bears’ primary specialist, handling kickoffs with a strong leg and averaging 62.0 yards on four kickoffs against Alabama A&M. His early field-goal results have been rough, going 0-for-2 against Alcorn State and again 0-for-2 overall in the 2025 team stat sheet, but he did make the extra point that showed he can still cash in the routine stuff. The appeal here is upside: he’s already getting game reps, has kickoff strength, and looks like a developmental kicker worth patience rather than panic.
