Jared McAdoo's non-stop desire leads to UNC

Posted Sep 30, 2008
Defensive lineman Jared McAdoo had never played football before his freshman season at Chapel Hill High. But ever since he got started, McAdoo has been a wonder to watch, Tigers coach Isaac Marsh said. Marsh spotted McAdoo, then a 6-foot-2, 260-pound basketball player, and told him that if he worked hard at football, he might win an athletic scholarship. Marsh, now a well-muscled 288-pounder, committed to UNC in March. (Raleigh News & Observer)
