More to life than football for Caleb Pressley
Posted Aug 22, 2014
Three years ago, on his first day of class at UNC, a dream burned inside of Caleb Pressley. Growing up in Asheville, Pressley wanted to be a starting college quarterback. He chased that dream for as long as he could — three years as a backup quarterback for the UNC football team. Zero starts. But Tuesday, Pressley rolls up to the Pit on his last first day of class as a different person.
