UNC signee Jalek Felton dishes on what fuels his fire

Posted Feb 14, 2017
The greatest motivating factor that’s gotten Jalek Felton to where he is today: “Seeing my mom in the stands and thinking about how she took care of me and my sisters as a single parent. I want to get to the point where she doesn’t want or need anything. She made so many sacrifices for me to be able to showcase my talents. Same for my sisters; I want to take care of them all.” (USA Today)
