Quietly waiting his turn, wide receiver Justin Olson ready to shine for UNC football

Posted Aug 18, 2021

He's rarely even got the opportunity to line up at receiver. That'll change this season. Olson's turn has arrived. He may be the best receiver no one outside of Chapel Hill has paid attention to.
