Josh Downs Takes Another Step Into Role Of Go-To Guy

Posted Sep 19, 2021
With Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome off to the NFL, Josh Downs has had to step into the role of UNC's top receiver. Aspiring to meet their standards is one thing, but getting an in-person boost before Saturday night’s eruption was something else. Brown was in attendance Saturday night, and he playfully laid down the gauntlet with Downs beforehand. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
