Johnny White runs with UNC starters this spring

Posted Apr 6, 2007

New season, new coach, new opportunity for Johnny White. After sitting out his first year at North Carolina as a redshirt, the former Asheville High football star has been so impressive in spring practice he is working with the first team offense at tailback. "It sort of caught me off guard, but I felt like I was ready," said White, who was redshirted after struggling with an ankle injury. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
