UNC defensive back DeAndre Boykins' physicality and locked-in mentality have turned him into a locker-room favorite. "He's got the full respect of everybody on our team because of the way he plays and the way he prepares," coach Gene Chizik said. He is a junkyard dawg," linebacker Cedric Gray echoed. "He is one of the most physical DBs I have seen." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
