Crowded UNC Backfield Working Through Youth And Injuries This Spring

UNC football coach Mack Brown wants two running backs to get the majority of the snaps in 2023, with a third option for special situations and in case of injury. That makes for an intriguing spring for the Tar Heels' running backs. Currently, Elijah Green, Omarion Hampton, and George Pettaway are getting the most snaps during spring practice.
