Brandon Tate shows off hands

Posted Apr 10, 2007

Brandon Tate wants to continue his role on UNC’s special teams in the 2007 football season. But this spring, he’s trying to show the new coaching staff that he can do special things as a receiver as well. “This year, I’ll probably take more snaps at receiver,” Tate said. Tate made waves by becoming the ninth player in NCAA history to return a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the same game in last year’s finale at Duke. (Burlington Times News)
