Senior Lineman James Hurst Catalyst for Tar Heel Turnaround

Posted Nov 6, 2013
James Hurst says he feels like he has been able to help some of the young offensive lineman build confidence in the game plan going into live action on Saturdays. “I feel like I’ve been able to help them with the game plan and understand what we are trying to do so when they go out there on Saturdays you don’t have to think as much. Hopefully, those guys feel like I’ve been doing a good job of that." (Chapelboro.com)
