Pete Mangum Brings Focus And Fire To Carolina

Posted Oct 3, 2012
Pete Mangum, a Raleigh native, came to UNC with the intention of not just playing football, but playing it at the highest level. The 5-foot-10 Mangum was without scholarship offers from other schools but went into football tryouts determined to take advantage of his opportunity. That same approach has now made him a starter on special teams, where he plays with a one-play-and-out mentality. (GoHeels.com)
