Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Illinois): Jason Stanicek
Posted May 15, 2019
North Carolina needed someone to step up at quarterback during the 1991 season, so Mack Brown called on freshman Jason Stanicek to see if he could get the Tar Heels moving. By the end of Stanicek’s career, the Park Forest, IL, native passed Carolina legend Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice as UNC’s all-time leader in total yards, finishing his career with 5,497.
