Linebacker Cedric Gray Opts Out Of UNC's Bowl Game

Posted Dec 11, 2023
Cedric Gray remained at UNC for his senior season to enhance his game and take the Tar Heels to the next level. UNC has won eight games this season, and could match last year’s total of nine with a victory in its bowl game, but will have to do so without its leading tackler, as Gray announced he will not play in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on December 27.
