Five walk-ons receive football scholarships
Posted Aug 22, 2011
The departure of players like Hunter Furr, Mywan Jackson, and Brandon Willis from the Tar Heel roster has created a void in some ways this summer in North Carolina's training camp, but it's also created new opportunity for others. Head coach Everett Withers took advantage of the situation by providing five new scholarships to deserving veteran UNC players to put the program back at its maximum of 85 scholarships.
