From Dublin To UNC, Punter Ben Kiernan Excited To Be A Tar Heel
Posted Dec 10, 2018
North Carolina had a lot of interest in big-time punter Ben Kiernan
before Mack Brown was hired and also after Brown returned to Chapel Hill. But it wasn’t until the Hall of Fame coach had time to roll up his sleeves and survey the recruiting landscape that Kiernan was offered by the Tar Heels. And then things moved quickly for Kiernan, a native of Ireland with dual citizenship.
