Friendly foes: ‘Brothers’ Otis, Bigger face one another on the field Saturday

Posted Sep 19, 2014
Norkeithus Otis was running down the field on kickoff coverage against ECU last season when, out of nowhere, he felt as though he had gotten hit by a truck. There was no need to get the license number, though. The UNC Bandit already knew it. The offending party was Pirates’ linebacker Zeek Bigger, his old Ashbrook High teammate. The two have known each other since they were 10 years old (Wilmington Star News)
