'It's huge': Walk-on kicker Jonathan Kim awarded scholarship with UNC football
Posted Feb 5, 2021
"I want to be the best in the nation." That's the message sophomore kicker Jonathan Kim relayed to UNC Mack Brown before the 2020 football season. The effort he put into fulfilling that promise helped make him one of three walk-ons put on scholarship this spring. On Thursday, Brown said Kim's kickoff abilities were key to the Tar Heels' special teams success.
