Greatest former UNC athlete by state (North Dakota): Phil Farris
Posted Jun 4, 2019
UNC never has and likely never will have a football recruiting footprint in North Dakota. The Tar Heels don’t recruit that region of the country at all. However, Phil Farris found his way to Chapel Hill and turned in a solid football career for the Tar Heels. Born in Charlotte, Farris grew up in the South Pacific and attended high school in North Dakota.
