ice-cold Tar Heel kicker with clutch gene and record-book legs
Connor Barth was a steady, high-leverage kicker for North Carolina, leaving Chapel Hill as the program’s record-holder with 54 made field goals and a first-team All-ACC résumé. In his UNC career, he was known for range, consistency, and nerve—most famously drilling a walk-off 42-yard field goal to beat No. 3 Miami as a true freshman. For a team, the fit is obvious: reliable under pressure, strong leg, and the kind of specialist who can tilt tight games when the moment gets loud.
