Spring Football Report: Downs, Criswell, Grimes, Rucker & More

Posted Apr 19, 2021
Josh Downs has received high praise from North Carolina Coach Mack Brown this spring, as well as some teammates. Eugene Asante played only 163 snaps on defense, but 63 were in the Orange Bowl versus Texas A&M. Tony Grimes should be finishing out his senior year in high school but instead he’s technically a sophomore in spring football practice. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
