Outfielder Kane Kepley follows former head coach to UNC: "I was never gonna leave him"

Posted Feb 11, 2025
When head baseball coach Scott Jackson left Liberty last summer for an assistant coach position with UNC, Kane Kepley followed, transferring after two seasons with the Flames. "I was never gonna leave him, no matter what, because he gave me the chance to play DI ball when other schools didn't. Him taking care of me at that time, it meant the most to me." (Daily Tar Heel)
