Hamlett's last shot at Hokies

Posted Sep 8, 2006

To North Carolina tight end Jon Hamlett, college football is "a blast." In November, for example, the Jefferson Forest graduate gets to play at Notre Dame. Next month, he heads down to Miami. And on Saturday, Hamlett and the rest of the Tar Heels host No. 16 Virginia Tech on ESPN. "You love the big games. That's why you play," Hamlett said. "That's what every little kid looks at -- they want to be on TV. I'm able to do that." (Roanoke Times)
