Tylee Craft still fighting after graduation from UNC

Posted Jun 21, 2024
Tylee Craft is a fighter. The former wide receiver has been proving that fact endlessly since March 14, 2022. On that date, Craft was diagnosed with lung cancer. The cancer spread to his brain and spine in 2023. But Craft never backed down from the fight. In May, Craft graduated from UNC, showing that no amount of adversity can hold him down. (Sumter Item)
