Veteran UNC kicker Thomas Moore brings proven legs and steady starter value
In the 2026 preseason, Thomas Moore enters the fall as North Carolina’s starter and a veteran special-teams weapon, with UNC listing him 10th all-time in school history with 22 made field goals and 16th with 164 career points. The appeal is reliability: he’s experienced, locally rooted, and has already handled high-pressure kicking duty for the Tar Heels, which matters when a roster needs calm over flash. He looks like a fit for teams that value steadiness, trust, and a kicker who has already earned the job.
