Shaun Draughn back to the competition

Posted Mar 25, 2010
With his shoulder feeling like new, rising senior Shaun Draughn said he is just thankful to be back on the field for the Tar Heels this spring and trying to earn back his starting spot from Ryan Houston, who became the primary back. Draughn said he is more than ready to step back into his old role and has been practicing with the first team so far. "Just to get back out there is real fun for me," Draughn said. "I thank God every day I can just be out there." (Durham Herald-Sun)
