Patience Paying Off for UNC Defensive Lineman Jacolbe Cowan

Posted Nov 10, 2024
UNC defensive lineman Jacolbe Cowan didn’t expect to end up in Chapel Hill playing for the Tar Heels. If he had his way, his time at Ohio State would have been a stepping stone to the NFL. But, that wasn’t the case. And that’s why now, for Cowan, patience is a virtue. "I’m a firm believer in good things coming to those who wait, and I’ve stayed patient." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
