Connor Barth on "1on1 with Jon Evans" podcast

Posted Jul 3, 2017
Just four games into his freshman season at UNC, playing on national television, Connor Barth kicked a game-winning 42-yard field goal as time ran out to give UNC a 31-28 upset win over the fourth-ranked Miami Hurricanes. Barth says that’s the moment he began thinking about possibly kicking in the NFL. “I think after that kick, things changed for me a little bit,” he says. (WECT)
