Carl Tucker excited about opportunity for UNC's tight ends
Posted Aug 5, 2019
The days of Ethan Horton, Alge Crumpler, and Eric Ebron had become a distant memory the past two seasons as Tar Heel tight ends managed a total of 64 catches, for just 13.7 percent of the team’s receptions over that span. Expect that to change with offensive coordinator Phil Longo at the helm. “I feel like it’s more dynamic,” tight end Carl Tucker said.
