Thunder From Down Under: Punter Tom Maginness' Journey to UNC

Posted Feb 7, 2023
Before last Monday's press conference, UNC football coach Mack Brown shared a note with reporters that the ceiling of UNC's indoor practice facility was a little too low for new Australian punter Tom Maginness. "And that's a good thing," Brown added with a smile. "I need to get him to raise it another 10 meters, I think," Maginness said with a laugh. (Inside Carolina)
