UNC right tackle battle nears an end

Posted Aug 16, 2013
North Carolina’s right tackle position has been perhaps the most contested on the team throughout the preseason, but the competition is nearing an end. Chris Kapilovic, the Tar Heels’ offensive line coach, is hopeful that he can name a starter after UNC’s scrimmage on Saturday. Three players – Kiaro Holts, Jon Heck and John Ferranto – have been competing for the starting job. (Charlotte Observer)
