UNC defensive lineman Jahvaree Ritzie wears his motivation on his sleeve

Posted Oct 9, 2024
"Let's go boys," Kindra Ritzie cheers as her son Jahvaree makes his way down the steps outside Kenan Memorial Stadium. "Love you, you've got this," Kindra said as Jahvaree gave her a hug. The bell tower walk is a game-day ritual at UNC and the Ritzie's have a few of their own. "Every game I try to give him something to make him smile," Kindra said. (WRAL Sports Fan)
