UNC Spring Football Notebook: Alijah Huzzie's Coverage, Omarion Hampton, Slot Receiver, and More

Posted Apr 10, 2023
East Tennessee State transfer Alijah Huzzie is a name UNC fans should get to know. It would be a shock if he isn’t starting at cornerback this season. Sophomore running back Omarion Hampton "is extremely talented. He’s explosive, he’s big, he’s physical. When he hits you, you go backwards." Receiver Kobe Paysour is playing slot and wideout in practice. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
