Josh Downs ended his true freshman season on a high point: four catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns, including a 75-yarder, in UNC football’s Orange Bowl loss to Texas A&M. Based on the early returns from spring practice, expect even more from his sophomore campaign. “He’s our best receiver at this point,” head coach Mack Brown said. (Fayetteville Observer)
