Caleb Hood Trying to Solidify Tar Heels' Lead Running Back Role

Posted Oct 14, 2022
North Carolina sophomore running back Caleb Hood is coming off of career highs in carries (13), catches (5), receiving yards (50) and total yards (124) from the Tar Heels’ 27-24 victory last week at Miami. He was UNC’s starting running back for the second game in a row and led the Tar Heels with 74 rushing yards. Staying healthy remains the challenge. (Inside Carolina)
