Tom Maginness is UNC’s steady Aussie punter with real field-position juice
In the 2025 season, Tom Maginness gave North Carolina dependable punting with 56 punts for 2,389 yards, a 42.66-yard average, and 18 downed inside the 20, while also forcing 23 fair catches. He’s a rugby-style, Australia-born specialist whose game is built on hang time, placement, and consistency rather than pure power—plus he’s durable enough to handle a heavy workload and polished enough to serve as both punter and holder. For a team needing field-position control and a calm, experienced leg, he’s a legit fit.
