Davis walks on, ads cause stir

Posted Jun 26, 2012
Drew Davis, son of former North Carolina coach Butch Davis and quarterback at East Chapel Hill High, will be a "preferred walk-on" with the Tar Heels. Despite offers from FCS schools and an opportunity to walk-on at Miami, Davis' destination makes plenty of sense. While his father was coaching the Tar Heels, Davis was just like any other teenager in high school establishing friends and his own path. (WRAL Sports Fan)
