Huzzie's Home, Allen Improved, and Depth on Board at Cornerback for UNC Football

Posted Jul 24, 2024
The best news regarding the cornerback position that North Carolina can have is that Alijah Huzzie is back where he belongs. Huzzie was Honorable Mention All-ACC last season at the star position, after DeAndre Boykins was lost for the season in August with a torn ACL. But the former FCS All-American is back at corner now, where he is an NFL prospect. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
