Recruiting path of nation's second-ranked punter Corbin Daly began with a coma

Posted Apr 24, 2014
Corbin Daly was in seventh grade and in his father’s neighborhood, which had two big hills. He was sitting atop his bicycle by his father’s house, which was right on top on one of those big hills. With no hands and no helmet, he began his descent. Corbin woke up from a coma a couple days later. Now Corbin is considered a top punter in the class of 2014. In August, he will make the 160-mile trip to Chapel Hill to begin the next phase of his football life, punting for the North Carolina Tar Heels. (Sporting News)
