Talkin' Tar Heels with Jonathan Cooper

Posted Jun 7, 2012
The Tar Heels are having a little fun this off-season under first-year coach Larry Fedora, and I caught up with offensive guard Jonathan Cooper to chat about it. Cooper is one of four starters returning to an offensive line that has combined for 91 starts. It should be one of the best groups in the ACC. As for whether or not the 6-foot-3, 305-pound senior can play beach volleyball? Well, that’s a different story. (ESPN.com)
