UNC Mascot Tyler Treadway Receives Jason Ray Spirit Award


Tyler Treadway, a senior from Mt. Pleasant, N.C., is the 2008-09 recipient of the Jason Ray Memorial Spirit Award given by the UNC Department of Athletics. Treadway played the mascot, Rameses, for the past three seasons. The award is named in honor of Jason Ray, another former Tar Heel mascot, who was tragically killed in 2007 in a pedestrian/vehicle accident in New Jersey during the NCAA Men's Basketball East Regional.
