Injury Could Shelve UNC Tight End Brandon Fritts For The Season
Posted Apr 19, 2018
North Carolina senior tight end Brandon Fritts has suffered a serious knee injury and is out indefinitely, which could mean the entire 2018 season, multiple sources confirmed to Tar Heel Illustrated. Fritts had knee surgery earlier this week stemming from an injury suffered in spring practice. There is nothing definitive at this time as to how long he will be out.
