Vince Jacobs Ready For Impact

Posted Sep 23, 2009
Neither Christian Wilson nor Ed Barham have yet emerged as legitimate pass-catching threats from the tight end position. Vince Jacobs is a 6'7 junior who spent 2007 and tight end before moving to defensive end last season. Now, he's back on the offensive side of the ball. "It's been interesting," Jacobs says of his line-jumping. "It's been fun. I'm enjoying it, I'm just happy to be able to help the team any way I can." (Tar Heel Blue)
