Tar Heels have Ryan Taylor at H-back

Posted Aug 8, 2009
Ryan Taylor was brought to UNC three years ago to do a specific job for the football program. This season, his last at North Carolina, he should finally get the chance to do it. Taylor is scheduled to play H-back, a receiving position that is mostly a hybrid of tight end and fullback, for a team in dire need of pass catchers. At yesterday's practice, the first of the season, Taylor was listed as the starter. (Winston-Salem Journal)
