UNC notes: Position switches, orange jerseys and Miami lessons


With starting cornerback scheduled for surgery Friday to repair an injured tendon in his left hand, and UNC’s coaches unsure how long he will be sidelined, wide receiver switched to corner during Thursday’s practice. Although the 6-feet-2, 195-pounder was recruited to play receiver at Carolina, he was a second-team all-state defensive back at Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake, Va. (Raleigh News & Observer)
