UNC TE Shamar Easter Discusses the Big Play, His Role, and More

Posted Oct 13, 2026
In a 21-17 victory over No. 25 Pitt, Shamar Easter's one catch was the difference, as the junior tight end took it 75 yards to the house and gave the Tar Heels a lead they would not relinquish. "We already knew the play was going to hit, because at practice, we get the ball to who needs to get the ball. When we called the play, I was like, 'Yeah, it's gonna hit.'" (TarHeel247)
