Turner's Take: The Charlotte Connection
Posted Sep 2, 2015
Twenty-two current Tar Heels hail from Charlotte or the surrounding area. It wouldn’t be all that surprising to see full plays involving nearly all Charlotte players on Thursday night. Marquise Williams (Mallard Creek) could take the snap, fake a hand-off to Elijah Hood (Charlotte Catholic), get a block from left tackle Bentley Spain (Providence) and whip a pass to Austin Proehl (Providence).
