Hilee Taylor seeks reversal of fortunes

Posted Jul 23, 2007

Hilee Taylor appeared destined for a successful career as a pass rusher in 2004, when he set the school record for sacks by first-year freshmen, with 4.5. He led the team with three forced fumbles despite missing four games with a leg injury. Since then, his fortunes -- and North Carolina's -- have sunk. He totaled four sacks and two forced fumbles over the past two seasons as the Tar Heels went 8-15. (Charlotte Observer)
