Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Georgia): Jeff Saturday
Posted May 11, 2019
Jeff Saturday may be known as one of the hardest working players ever in the history of Carolina football. The powerful center was a two-time first-team All-ACC selection in 1996 and 1997 anchoring the offensive line for UNC teams that finished back-to-back seasons ranked in the top 10. “What a competitor Jeff Saturday is,” UNC Coach Mack Brown said.
