Cade Fortin Recovers From Slow Start, Builds Toward Next Year

Posted Nov 24, 2018
Freshman quarterback Cade Fortin got his second career start Saturday in North Carolina’s 34-28 loss to NC State, and after a slow start, the Georgia native acquitted himself well. Going into the game, Fortin had played just 49 snaps - eight against ECU, 40 against Virginia Tech and one against Duke. However, Fortin had his best game as a Tar Heel against the Wolfpack.
