The Player Blog: Sam Ellis

Posted Jun 5, 2010
I am excited about the opportunity to provide you with an unprecedented insight as to what the daily life of a football player is like. To anybody that does not share my passion for UNC, you are most likely not going to find this series very appealing. As the son of two Tar Heel parents (one of which, Jeff Garnica, was an All-America under Mack Brown in 1988), a 21-year resident of Chapel Hill, I absolutely love my school. (Tar Heel Blue)
