UNC’s quietly elite, ultra-reliable long snapper
Triplett is the kind of special-teams piece coaches love because he’s been steady, assignment-sound, and durable at North Carolina, appearing in 51 games by late 2025 and handling both field goals and punts with precision. In the 2025 season, he was credited with a perfect 99-for-99 snapping performance and became a Patrick Mannelly Award finalist, which is strong evidence he’s operating at a high national level. His edge is consistency under pressure, plus the added value of leadership and experience in a role where mistakes are brutally expensive.
