Tar Heels have weapon in kicker Nick Weiler

Posted Sep 19, 2015
Nick Weiler first became a placekicker simply to help out his high school team. "I started at safety and wide receiver, but we needed a kicker,'' Weiler said. "I had a really strong leg because I had played soccer. So, I taught myself that first year.'' Weiler would eventually receive help from a well-known kicking instructor, Bill Renner, the father of former North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner. (Fayetteville Observer)
