Kaimon Rucker Outlines Injury, Return, and Happiness Wearing Tar Heel Uniform

Posted Oct 24, 2024
How much does Kaimon Rucker love football? So much that when he returned from injury that kept the defensive stalwart off the field four games, he was just happy to have the pads on. "Shoot, I was in uniform. So that was happy for me. (The staff) was like, ‘Be ready to not play a lot.’ And I was like, ‘Bro, that’s fine, I’ve got my uniform on. I’m happy.’" (Tar Heel Illustrated)
