1960s UNC QB, All-ACC selection Junior Edge passes away

Posted Aug 30, 2020
Recruited to UNC by coach Jim Tatum, Junior Edge would start at safety and was second among ACC players in interceptions as a sophomore in 1961 with seven. The following year Edge took over as the starting quarterback while still playing safety. But it was the 1963 season in which his accomplishments at quarterback were among the best in UNC history.
