UNC could be wildcard for QB Jacoby Brissett

Posted Apr 30, 2010
In the pursuit of Dwyer QB Jacoby Brissett, there’s the one recruiting advantage North Carolina’s football team has over everybody else: North Carolina’s basketball team. It has always been Brissett’s dream to play basketball, his first love, at North Carolina and if the Tar Heels can guarantee him a legitimate chance to play on the basketball team. “He would jump on that,” Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said. “When I told him he was offered by North Carolina for football, he lit up, which I hadn’t seen him do."
