Khris Francis Finding Balance In First Spring

Posted Apr 15, 2013
On just his second carry of the 2013 Spring Football Game, freshman running back Khris Francis took the ball for 24 yards. Finding a gap in the defense and pushing forward, Francis made his first big play in a Tar Heel uniform after enrolling early this January. And while Francis didn't predict that run in particular, he does have high expectations after giving himself a head start with UNC football this spring. (GoHeels.com)
