Sophomore offensive lineman Bentley Spain up to speed

Posted Aug 26, 2015
Bentley Spain and Larry Fedora have one thing in common — they both like to go fast. And while not many people associate 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive linemen with pure speed, Spain, a sophomore offensive tackle on the UNC football team, is prepared to break that mold — both in his style of play and in his dream job. Spain lists in his player bio that he’d like to be a NASCAR driver. (Daily Tar Heel)
