Lucas: A Career Rebooted

Posted Sep 28, 2008
Cameron Sexton has been the starter, he has been the backup, and he has been the backup's backup. As college sports fans, we're accustomed to seeing careers begin and finish. It's only rarely that we get to see a player reboot a career. "There were many times I'd go home at night and call my parents and tell them I didn't know if I wanted to play football anymore," Sexton said. "But they told me to keep plugging. And the confidence started to come back." (Tar Heel Blue)
