UNC Football Preseason Camp Update

Posted Aug 20, 2023
One of the names that has come up a lot this month is North Carolina redshirt freshman defensive end Beau Atkinson. In fact, just watching him in the first practice of camp, and then the first one with full pads on, it was clear that Atkinson is a player to keep an eye on. Another name that keeps popping up is another redshirt freshman, Tayon Holloway. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
