USF’s clutch, record-setting leg with a proven big-game streak
In the 2012 season, Maikon Bonani was one of South Florida’s most reliable weapons, finishing with 18 made field goals on 23 attempts and a perfect 21-for-23 on extra points, while also sitting atop USF’s all-time career field goals list with 69 makes[1][2]. His calling card is calm under pressure: he hit a school-record run of consecutive field goals and delivered multiple game-changing kicks, including a freshman game-winner against Kansas[1][6][11]. The knock? Longer-range power was never his loudest trait, so he profiles best for a team that values accuracy, composure, and clutch temperament over pure leg strength[9].
