UNC Kicker Rece Verhoff Returns | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

A major court ruling grants college athletes who graduated in 2022 an extra year of eligibility — and UNC football just got a huge boost. Placekicker Rece Verhoff, who transferred last offseason and delivered 19-of-23 field goals and a perfect 20-for-20 on extra points, is now eligible to return for a fifth year. His game-winning 57-yard kick against Wake Forest set a new school record, and with no immediate challengers from LSU transfer Aeron Burrell or freshman David Green, he’s poised to anchor the Tar Heels’ special teams again. Verhoff is the only player so far to announce his intent to return — but if others follow, UNC could be in for a strong season.
