Brandon Fritts Thriving in Red Zone Role for UNC

Posted Sep 13, 2017
There was hype around tight end Brandon Fritts to start the 2016 season.

All of that fell short, though, as Fritts only played in limited action last year due to injury. This year, Fritts is making his presence known. (Inside Carolina)
