Tar Heel Trailblazer: Charles Scott

Posted Feb 13, 2014

More than 40 years after he enrolled in Chapel Hill, Carolina’s first black scholarship athlete simply thinks of himself as an alumnus. “I’d never put a label on myself when I went out there, to think I was playing as a pioneer or a trailblazer,” he said. “That was never my frame of mind as a player at North Carolina.” (GoHeels.com)
