Grayson Atkins brings proven accuracy and big-stage credibility to UNC’s kicking game
Atkins has been a steady, high-volume kicker with career marks of 78.0% on field goals and 97.6% on extra points, plus a long of 51 yards, giving North Carolina a reliable scorer with range[1]. His differentiator is pedigree: he arrived at UNC after earning major All-America recognition at Furman, which signals the kind of pressure-tested consistency teams want in close games[4][6]. If you need a kicker who can be trusted on routine points and has shown he can handle leverage moments, he fits.
