Tar Heels wide receiver JJ Jones to honor Tylee Craft during UNC vs. Georgia Tech game

Posted Oct 12, 2024
Since March 2022, Tylee Craft has batted Stage 4 lung cancer. Recently, Craft was hospitalized. While the UNC football program would love to have had him in attendance on Saturday, senior wide receiver J.J. Jones has made sure Craft's name is seen throughout the game. Jones will wear Craft's jersey during UNC's contest against Georgia Tech. (Keeping It Heel)
