Tomon Fox embraces role as Tar Heels’ ‘big brother’

Posted Jul 22, 2021
Tomon Fox hasn’t been a member of the North Carolina football team forever. It only seems like it. The star outside linebacker, who is one sack short of matching Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor on the school’s all-time list, played his first game with the Tar Heels as a true freshman all the way back in 2016. He’s poised to finish his career on a high note. (North State Journal)
