Greatest former UNC athlete by state (Louisiana): Antawn Jamison

Posted May 20, 2019
Antawn Jamison was recruited to UNC from Providence Day in Charlotte, but he’s our Louisiana representative because he spent the first 13 years of his life in the Shreveport area. He was much more Louisianan than Carolinian when he showed up in Chapel Hill in 1995 and became a three-time All-American and 1998 consensus national Player of the Year. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
