Caleb Pressley enjoying new role with UNC

Posted Nov 27, 2014
A year ago, Caleb Pressley was a backup quarterback who barely saw the field. Now he’s one of the most recognizable figures on the UNC sideline – he’s the guy in the NFL jerseys, UNC’s self-proclaimed Supervisor of Morale. “Backup quarterbacks don’t get a lot of attention, but now I have more attention than I’ve ever had,” Pressley said. A chance to study abroad put all of this in motion. (WRAL Sports Fan)
