  01/12/20 - Grayson Atkins, rSr/2022, North Carolina, 5-09, 193 (DS#17 K) + More +

  2019 AFCA FCS COACHES' FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: PK Grayson Atkins, Jr., Furman,...A junior, he converted 13-of-15 field goal attempts and 48-of-50 PATs in 2019. He made all six field goal attempts under 40 yards and went 7-for-9 from 40+ yards, with his last try, a career long 59-yard effort, coming in FCS first round playoff action against Austin Peay. The Inman, S.C., native entered the season riding a streak of 11 consecutive made field goals and proceeded to extend it to a Furman and Southern Conference record 18 straight - his final make coming from a school record tying 55 yards in a 28-7 win over Western Carolina on Oct. 26.

Atkins' streak of 18 straight made field goals averaged 39.2 yards in distance and featured perfect 10-for-10 work from 40+ yards, including 5-for-5 from 50+ yards. A consensus first team All-SoCon selection for a second straight year, he has converted 33-of-40 field goals in three seasons at Furman and accounted for 241 points, ranking fifth all-time in kick scoring. His career 82.5 field goal percentage is the best in program history. Atkins also landed second team All-SoCon honors as punter in 2019 after averaging 43.5 yards per punt and recorded 39 touchbacks on 77 kickoffs. - Furman Football

  North Carolina has hired Nebraska's Jovan Dewitt as its outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator. UNC announced Dewitt's hire Monday after Dewitt spent the past two seasons in the same role with the Huskers. He replaces Scott Boone, with a team spokesman saying last week Boone wouldn't return to Mack Brown's staff after "a mutual decision to part ways" due to philosophical differences. Dewitt's special teams have seven punt or kickoff returns for touchdowns in the past four seasons along with four blocked punts over the past two years. Dewitt worked with current UNC defensive coordinator Jay Bateman at Army in 2014 and 2015. He has also worked at UCF, Florida Atlantic and Northern Iowa in the past decade. - AP College Football

  12/27/19 - Sam Howell, Jr/2022, North Carolina, 6-1, 224 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Freshman Sam Howell threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns in addition to catching a TD pass, and North Carolina blew out Temple 55-13 in the Military Bowl on Friday to cap a satisfying return season for coach Mack Brown. Howell completed 25 of 34 passes and ran for 53 yards on three carries to help the Tar Heels (7-6) secure their first bowl victory since 2013. North Carolina was 4-6 before winning its last two regular-season games to qualify for a bowl bid. Temple (8-5) has gone to a bowl game five years in a row - and lost four of them. This was the Owls' first trip under coach Rod Carey, who came to Temple after a run of six-plus seasons at Northern Illinois in which he was 0-6 in the postseason.

North Carolina went 3-9 in 2017 and 2-9 last year before hiring Brown, who coached the Tar Heels from 1988-97 prior to heading to Texas for a 16-year stay. Coming off a five-year absence from coaching, the 68-year-old Brown can attribute a portion of his success to securing Howell, a high school star in North Carolina who initially committed to Florida State. Closing out a sensational debut season at the college level, Howell threw a pair of touchdown passes before halftime to stake the Tar Heels to a 20-6 lead. UNC pulled away early in the third quarter by scoring two touchdowns in a 12-second span, the last on a 20-yard interception return by Storm Duck. Howell completed the third-quarter blitz by catching a 2-yard TD pass from wide receiver Rontavius Groves at the end of a razzle-dazzle reverse to make it 41-6. Howell threw 38 touchdown passes this season, most by a true freshman in FBS history. His 3,641 yards passing are an Atlantic Coast Conference record for a freshman who has not redshirted. - AP College Football

  2019 ALL-ACC THIRD TEAM (COACHES): QB - Sam Howell, North Carolina; 76,...Howell jumped onto the scene as the first true freshman to start a season opener in Carolina football history. He finished the year completing 234 passes on 388 attempts (60.2%) for 3,347 yards and 35 TDs with only seven INTs. The 35 TD passes are the most by a true freshman in FBS history, are the second most by a freshman (true or redshirt) in ACC history, are tied for fourth on the ACC's single-season chart, and rank fourth nationally. His 3,347 passing yards are the most in the ACC and rank 12th nationally.

They are also the most by a true freshman in ACC history. Howell joined James Winston as the only ACC QBs in the last 15 years to throw 35+ TDs (35), throw 10 or fewer INTs (7), throw for 3,000 yards (3,347), average eight yards per attempt (8.6), and complete 60% of the passes (60.3). He is one of just three QBs nationally (Joe Burrow, LSU; Justin Fields, Ohio State) to throw 35+ TDs with seven INTs or fewer and one of just two QBs (Joe Burrow, LSU) to throw for 3,000 yards, 35 TDs and seven INTs or fewer. - North Carolina Football
