Fueled By His Daughter, Dazz Newsome Primed For Big Season

Posted Jul 9, 2019
Dazz Newsome still wears No. 19 and is a North Carolina Tar Heel. What’s different, however, is that Newsome is a father, and if you don’t know his daughter’s name, just look on his neck and it’s right there: “Yelaina.” She’s an inspiration for the Hampton, VA, junior, and a driving force behind his dedication to becoming the best football player he can be.
