Hometown Lowdown: Salisbury

Posted Sep 28, 2012
It’s almost exactly 100 miles west on I-85 from Chapel Hill to the city of Salisbury, NC. The county seat of Rowan County is the hometown of two Tar Heels: Romar Morris and Darien Rankin. The redshirt freshmen have been playing football together since fourth grade. This week, Romar and Darien introduce us to their hometown. (Tar Heel Monthly)
