The redshirt sophomore out of North Carolina had a phenomenal season for the Tops, setting a program record for most consecutive made field goals with 18 straight.
From range, Carneiro was perfect, going five-for-five from 50+ yards, and the same holds true for his extra point skills, making all 41 PATs on the season.
