Brentwood Academy kicker Lenderink signs with North Carolina
After a single season with the Brentwood Academy Eagles in which he nearly set a school record and won Mr. Football's Kicker of the Year, Teagen Lenderink will soon be kicking for the Tarheels.
Lenderink announced this week that he will be committing to North Carolina, joining classmate and offensive Eli Sutton.
"It definitely was not the journey I had planned but through perseverance, it brought me right where I needed to be," Lenderink shared on Twitter of his announcement after thanking all who had played a role in his success.
247 Sports says Lenderik also had offers from Pennsylvania, Southeast Missouri State and Fordham.
The senior and BA kicker went 20/28 on the season, with his longest field goal coming from 54 yards. He was one successful kick shy of tying former BA kicker James Wilhoit's single-season state record of 21 field goals.
