Austin Proehl has big football dreams at UNC

Posted Jun 8, 2014
Austin Proehl is no stranger to a challenge. The former Providence High football star and incoming North Carolina wide receiver understood early in his high school career that earning a roster spot on a college football team wouldn’t be easy. That message came from his father Ricky, a Carolina Panthers receivers coach who excelled as a player in college and the NFL. “I have the best coach in the game as a father,” Proehl said.
