Posted Apr 16, 2019
Chazz Surratt has transitioned from quarterback to linebacker with UNCs football team. Through spring practice, there are signs that it might work out. “I thought the best path for me in the future was to go to the other side of the ball and play linebacker. I played it in high school and had success.” Surratt has bulked up to nearly 230 pounds. (Shelby Star)
