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

Posted Jul 24, 2024

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)
