UNC freshman adjusting to ACC football
Posted Apr 6, 2007
Zack Pianalto is one of four UNC freshmen who enrolled in January. Linebacker Quan Sturdivant graduated from high school early, linebacker Bruce Carter sat out the fall with a knee injury, and defensive back LeCount Fantroy arrived at UNC after a semester at prep school. All four freshmen are playing and learning at a much faster pace than they ever have before -- "Everything is faster than in high school," Sturdivant said.
