Kanler Coker didn’t register a single statistic for the North Carolina football team in 2012, but he was never far from action the entire year. The Flowery Branch High graduate spent his freshman year with the Tar Heels as the team’s third quarterback, which earned him a spot on the road roster. With second-year quarterback Bryn Renner in full control of the position, his chances to play were few and far between, but the experience he gained on the sidelines each week was one he’ll carry with him for the rest of his college career.
