UNC's Sean Tapley steps up big time to fill receiver void

Posted Oct 7, 2012
North Carolina’s next breakout player may be someone who says he was only thrown to once last season — and he dropped the pass. Sophomore Sean Tapley returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown and caught a 19-yard touchdown pass in UNC’s 48-34 win over Virginia Tech, stepping up to fill a void at receiver and giving the Tar Heels another weapon in Larry Fedora’s spread offense.
