UNC notes: Brennan Williams gives O-line extra punch

Posted Sep 7, 2011
UNC’s offensive line boasts plenty of experience. But new starter Brennan Williams is adding a big extra punch – quite literally. The junior tackle from West Roxbury, Mass., earned his black belt in taekwondo when he was 14 years old. The control, focus and balance he learned from practicing martial arts makes him a force to be reckoned with in the trenches -- especially combined with his 6-feet-7, 315-pound frame.
