Can Austin Proehl, Thomas Jackson become UNC’s new stars at receiver?
Posted May 10, 2017
Last season was a breakthrough year for Austin Proehl. In his first two years in a North Carolina uniform, Proehl caught 27 passes for 331 yards and one touchdown. A little further off the beaten path, but Thomas Jackson is ready for a larger role, too. According to Football Study Hall, Jackson ranked No. 1 on UNC’s roster last season with a catch rate of 94.4 percent.
