How patience paid off for UNC receiver, former walk-on Thomas Jackson
Posted Aug 21, 2017
Thomas Jackson’s last trip home to Charlotte, at the end of July, was entirely ordinary. Nights relaxing at home. Trips to the local Harris Teeter. Even a visit or two to his favorite sandwich shop just south of uptown, Laurel Market. “I always get a No. 4,” Jackson said Monday after North Carolina’s final day of football training camp.
