Early enrollee UNC freshmen make their presence known all over the football field

Posted Apr 25, 2021
UNC football coach Mack Brown didn’t mince words when it came to Jahvaree Ritzie, the former four-star freshman defensive tackle who debuted in Saturday’s spring game. “Jahvaree will really help us,” Brown said. “I saw him make some plays today, and he’s going to help us fast. He could already play. He sure doesn’t look like a high school senior.” (Fayetteville Observer)
