Experience On Big Stage Fueling UNC LB Eugene Asante's Confidence

Posted Jun 10, 2021
Eugene Asante’s play in the Orange Bowl pushed his game forward in literally every way. Not only did he gain significant confidence, but he is now carrying himself as a been-there-done-that guy. Had Chazz Surratt played, a large question mark would loom over Asante until the opener at Virginia Tech. Instead, Carolina knows what it has at middle linebacker. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
