Josh Downs, Tony Grimes among ESPN's top 100 college football players for 2022

Posted Aug 17, 2022
While UNC will have a new quarterback for 2022, it also expects to have a better supporting cast for its star receiver, which could make No. 26 Josh Downs an even bigger weapon. Downs caught 101 balls for 1,335 yards last season. No. 72 Tony Grimes held opposing quarterbacks to less than 50% completions while breaking up nine passes last season. (ESPN.com)
