Five-Star Kicker With Two-Way Value for UNC
Ryan Hornyak brings real special-teams juice for North Carolina: UNC lists him as a 6-foot, 195-pound place-kicker from Avon Old Farms, and multiple recruiting profiles call him a five-star specialist and New England Kicker of the Year. He’s also a rare multi-sport piece, serving as a defensive midfielder in lacrosse, which hints at competitiveness and athleticism beyond the box score. The main attraction is upside—accurate, vetted kicking talent with a high ceiling and a strong competitive edge, the kind of fit that can quietly win games when margins get tiny.
