Posted Mar 18, 2008

Butch Davis’ first training camp highlighted three young running backs splitting repetitions in the backfield.

Little entered spring practice as the feature back, and after a three-month stint on the top-ranked Tar Heels’ basketball team as a walk-on, is ready to secure his starting spot. (Inside Carolina)
