Fully Recovered and Back at Cornerback, Alijah Huzzie Primed for Big Season

Posted Jun 20, 2024
Alijah Huzzie is feeling good these days. First, he’s healthy, which wasn’t the case at the end of last football season. And he’s back playing cornerback, the position North Carolina brought him in to man after he transferred from East Tennessee State. "He’s a big-time player back out on the edge," first-year Tar Heels defensive coordinator Geoff Collins said. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
