UNC Football Snapshot: Defensive Back Kaleb Cost

Posted May 28, 2025
Adversity and a learning curve were to be expected for first-year starting defensive back Kaleb Cost, especially with how limited he was in football. But UNC's coaching staff knew he was the guy for the job all along and showed patience, allowing him to grow into it. "They know my capabilities, my ball skills, my technique itself. They know I can cover guys." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
