Homecoming: The story behind Fuquay-Varina safety Malcolm Ziglar's commitment to UNC

Posted Aug 18, 2023
Malcolm Ziglar is doing his best to enjoy the present, but he has his future planned as well. In July, he committed to UNC. The Tar Heels were his favorite team growing up, but he tried to not let fandom influence his decision. "Just sit down and say, 'Just because this is my favorite school when I was younger doesn't mean it's the best school for me,'" Ziglar said. (WRAL Sports Fan)
