Ja'Qurious Conley Slowly Being Worked Into Lineup

Posted Oct 19, 2022
Ja'Qurious Conley’s life changed on the opening kickoff last November in a win over Wofford. He caught the kick and started returning it, but was hit on his left knee at the 17-yeard-line and was done for the season. He hasn’t played since. The junior from Jacksonville, NC, went through a 10-plus month rehab, finally being fully cleared two weeks ago. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
