Erik Highsmith: Aiming High

Posted Jul 10, 2012
Erik Highsmith enters his senior year with 113 receptions for 1,499 yards and 10 touchdowns in his college career, ranking just outside UNC’s all-time top 10 in all three categories. But on the heels of his most productive year yet—a junior season in which he caught 51 passes for 726 yards and five touchdowns—Highsmith believes he is ready to break out in 2012. (Inside Carolina)
