Da'Norris Searcy Gives Back To UNC Football Program

Posted Sep 10, 2019
The defensive backs meeting room in Kenan Football Center is now named in honor of Da'Norris Searcy, a 2007-10 safety who went on to play nearly a decade in the NFL. Searcy is making a significant gift to UNC's football program and will be recognized with signage outside the meeting room used by the “Rude Boys,” as Carolina's DBs are known. (Rams Club)
