Introducing Tom Sheldon, UNC’s new Australian punter

Posted Aug 6, 2016
When UNC opened Fall Camp on Friday, there was a new face on the practice field: 27-year-old Australian punter Tom Sheldon. A former Aussie Rules Football player, Sheldon only very recently arrived in the United States. How awesome is it that he’s 27, and technically a freshman? He’s like the Australian Chris Weinke of punters. (Tar Heel Blog)
