Where Mapp Leads, Tar Heels Follow
Posted Oct 11, 2007
Durell Mapp has something to prove. The senior linebacker leads the Tar Heels in tackles, and he's started since he was a sophomore. But the success he's had didn't come easy. It never has. In 2002, he was named Most Valuable Player as he led the Burlington Cummings Cavaliers to a state championship. But he didn't get the scholarship offers he was looking for. His lone offer was a partial scholarship to Catawba College.
