Calvin Darity On Solid Footing

Posted Aug 8, 2007

Calvin Darity arrived in Chapel Hill as one of the top offensive lineman prospects nationally in the summer of '04. But during a practice scrimmage the following spring, the Tallahassee, Fla. native tore multiple ligaments in his right foot, endangering a potentially great football career. “When I got hurt, the pain was pretty high and all I was thinking was ‘I may never play again – that could have been my last play.’” Darity said.
