Corner, Nickel, Wherever, Trey Morrison Just Wants To Play Football

The only difference for the Norcross, GA, native is he won’t exclusively be playing the same nickelback position where he excelled last year. Instead, he’s seeing more time at cornerback, one of the Tar Heels’ thinnest position groups. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
