WRAL Sports' Chris Lea spoke with a UNC football player who wished to remain anonymous who is one who has tested positive for COVID-19 since he's been back in Chapel Hill. Despite that, the player told him that so far, UNC has seemingly followed all the protocols it has claimed to be following. The player said that he was tested for COVID-19 as soon as he got to campus. (WRAL Sports Fan)
