Matt Bosher named Hurricanes MVP

A heartfelt congrats to Miami Hurricanes kicker Matt Bosher, who was named team MVP. The sophomore from Jupiter earned the Jack Harding MVP Award on Sunday night at the annual UM awards banquet. 

Bosher hit 17-of-19 field goal attempts and all 38 extra points this season. He went 2-of-3 on field goals of 50 yards or greater and amassed eight special teams tackles. 

Coaches not only applauded Bosher’s talent but also praised his all-around abilities as a player and leader. Aside from the Jack Harding MVP award, Bosher is also a finalist for the Lou Groza Award for the nation’s best place kicker. 

Kudos to Bosher for bringing home the hardware this year, but let’s all hope next season’s MVP isn’t a special teams player. Miami needs a superstar tailback, quarterback, receiver or turnover-creating defensive superstar to help improve upon this year’s 7-5 campaign. 

Other award winners at Sunday’s banquet: 

• Sports Hall of Fame Unsung Hero – FB Patrick Hill
• Dale Melching Leadership – LB Glenn Cook
• Plumer Memorial (leadership) – Cook
• Mariutto Scholar Athlete (highest GPA) – Xavier Shannon
• Albert Bentley Most Valuable Walk-On – Chris Ivory
• Walt Kichefski Hurricane Award (commitment/consistency) – WR Khalil Jones
• Special Teams Player of the Year – Sam Shields
• Hard Hitter – LB Sean Spence
• Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year – RB Damien Berry
• Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year – DE Gavin Hardin
• Strength Training Athlete of the Year – Jones
• Nick Chickillo Most Improved Player – Chris Rutledge
