Q&A With New UNC Offensive Line Starter Diego Pounds

Posted Sep 14, 2023
Diego Pounds: "I was nervous. But my coach (offensive line coach Randy Clements) told me, ‘I don’t need you to be perfect. I just want you to go out there and play hard. You’ve got the ability, so it’s time to go show it.’ So yeah, I was nervous going out there. But honesty, after the first couple of plays and after the first drive, I felt like everything fell into place." (Inside Carolina)
