Injury led former UNC linebacker Chase Rice to music

Posted May 29, 2015
Chase Rice is one of country music's rising stars. "I've been doing music full time for coming up on five year's this fall," said Rice. "It's still very new to me." Before music, there was football at Asheville Reynolds High School and then the University of North Carolina. "I was 3-0 against NC State in football," Rice said. "Right up until I met Russell Wilson. He beat our butts senior day in Chapel Hill." (WRAL Sports Fan)
