I'm A Tar Heel: Jackson Simmons
Posted Feb 5, 2015
Jackson Simmons: "Growing up in North Carolina I can remember watching the Tar Heels play and was amazed at how big and full of energy the Smith Center was. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a part of the Carolina Family. So, When Coach Williams invited me as a walk-on in his office in early August of 2010, I told him I would think about it but there was no need to think."
