Christian Wilson Displaying His Versatility

Posted Aug 20, 2009
In most offenses at the college level, versatility is measured by the number of positions that an athlete can play on the football field. But in UNC’s offensive system, a player like Christian Wilson is labeled as versatile just by playing one position – H-back. Butch Davis enjoys nothing more than utilizing the complex hybrid position that former Miami Hurricane Jeremy Shockey made famous during the third-year head coach’s tenure in South Florida.
