UNC Football Q&A: Defensive Back Alijah Huzzie

Posted Oct 12, 2023
Once arriving at UNC, what was the moment you knew you could compete at this level? Alijah Huzzie: "The first day of practice I had jitters. I felt good but I was definitely anxious and ready to prove myself. During that first practice, I lined up and pressed Tez (Walker). Then, to myself, I said 'This isn't much different. It's just football at the end of the day.'" (GoHeels.com)
