Underdog: The Mack Hollins Chronicles

Posted Mar 21, 2017
Mack Hollins: "I’m okay with being an underdog. I didn’t have the bright spotlight coming out of High School. I went to Fort Union Military Academy after graduation to hone my skills, I got better. Still no offers. I wrote 100 coaches, sent them my highlights. Finally, UNC ended up emailing me back, saying they might have a spot for a walk-on. I knew that’s where I wanted to be." (Cover 32)
