Duke, State, UNC wrap up spring football
Posted Apr 23, 2010
Missing at UNC were guard Alan Pelc and tackle Carl Gaskins, who are recovering from surgery. Gaskins missed all of last season after injuring a knee in summer practice and was among five offensive linemen who missed at least one game. T.J. Leifheit, a freshman tackle who enrolled for the second semester, needed surgery for an ankle injury, a slight ligament tear. Sam Ellis, a walk-on who was forced to play last season, hurt a shoulder in spring practice and was limited.
