Former UNC Football Player Jake Lawler Tackles Career In Screenwriting


When he came to Carolina on a football scholarship, enjoyed writing, but he had no idea where that passion would take him. He chose UNC in part because he could combine football and studying writing at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. "Sports are a great backdrop for dramatic storytelling. That pushed me toward screenwriting." (Daily Tar Heel)
