UNC Football Midweek Notebook
Posted Sep 18, 2019
At Sun Valley High School in Monroe, N.C., Sam Howell spent three seasons playing alongside lifelong friend Luke Burnette, a tight end and defensive end for the Spartans. Burnette redshirted as a freshman offensive lineman at Appalachian State last season. He's since medically retired, but Howell said it adds some extra excitement to Saturday's game.
