Draft Profile: Bio
The Borregales name has become synonymous with kicking excellence at Miami, and Andres carried that torch with distinction. Following in the footsteps of his brother Jose, a Lou Groza Award winner, Andres carved out his own legacy by becoming Miami's all-time leading scorer with 405 career points. After earning the starting role as a true freshman in 2021, he demonstrated remarkable consistency and clutch performance across four seasons as the Hurricanes' primary placekicker.His journey from Chaminade-Madonna Prep, where he showcased his powerful leg with makes from 57 and 56 yards, to Miami was marked by steady improvement and growing confidence. As a three-star prospect ranked as the nation's No. 2 kicker by 247Sports, Borregales brought both pedigree and potential to Coral Gables. That potential materialized into production almost immediately, as he connected on 17 of 21 field goals his freshman year, including a school record-tying 55-yarder against Michigan State.
The 2024 season proved to be his masterpiece, converting 18 of 19 field goal attempts and a perfect 62 of 62 on extra points. His career-long 56-yard bomb against Virginia Tech highlighted his continued development in leg strength and accuracy. The First-Team All-ACC selection in both 2023 and 2024 cemented his status as one of college football's premier kickers.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional accuracy on field goals under 45 yards, showing consistent hip rotation and follow-through technique that produces reliable ball flight patterns
- Demonstrated clutch gene with multiple game-winning kicks, including three 45+ yard field goals in a single overtime victory against Virginia
- Outstanding trajectory control on longer attempts, consistently gets proper elevation while maintaining enough power to split the uprights
- Rock-solid mechanics from ground up - maintains balanced approach and exhibits excellent plant foot placement on contact
- Shows impressive mental toughness, bouncing back strong after rare misses and performing well in high-pressure situations
- Versatile kickoff specialist who generated consistent touchback numbers and showed ability to place kicks directionally when needed
- Clean, repeatable operation time from snap to kick that typically clocks in under 1.3 seconds
- Four-year starter who has kicked in all weather conditions and shown ability to adjust technique accordingly
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Slightly undersized frame at 170 pounds could raise concerns about leg strength sustainability over a full NFL season
- Occasional tendency to pull kicks left when attempting to maximize distance on attempts beyond 50 yards
- While adequate, hang time on kickoffs isn't elite and could be exposed by NFL return specialists
- Limited experience kicking in truly cold weather environments given his Florida background
- Will need to adjust to NFL hash mark width difference which affects angle calculations on longer attempts
Scouting Report: Summary
Borregales profiles as a day three selection who could immediately compete for a starting role in the NFL. His combination of proven accuracy, clutch performance, and continued development curve suggests a kicker who hasn't yet reached his ceiling. The bloodlines are there - his brother Jose has already proven the family's kicking ability can translate to the next level.While some teams may hesitate at his frame size, his technical proficiency and mental makeup more than compensate. He's shown particular prowess in pressure situations, converting multiple game-winners and overtime kicks throughout his career. Any team looking for stability in their kicking game would do well to target Borregales in the later rounds.
The track record of ACC kickers transitioning to the NFL has been strong in recent years, and Borregales has all the tools to continue that tradition. His ability to handle both placekicking and kickoff duties adds value, though he may need to continue building leg strength to consistently achieve touchbacks at the next level. Look for him to find early success in a dome or warm weather environment where his precise mechanics can shine.
