Carolina dares to think it has found a quarterback

Posted Apr 20, 2007

The coaches are hesitant to say just how strong red-shirt freshman quarterback T.J. Yates came on during the last couple of weeks of spring practice, but the young man has all but captured the starting job. For anyone who watched film of him playing high-school ball back in Georgia, the physical traits were certainly obvious all along. He's at least 6 foot 3, and he isn't skinny. The kid can move, too.
