Posted Aug 7, 2017
Freshman linebacker Kayne Roberts has switched to running back. Roberts, a 6-3, 200-pound rookie from Greenback, Tenn., took photos with the running back group and UNC coach Larry Fedora confirmed the move during his press conference in the Kenan Football Center. The move is not totally surprising as Roberts committed to UNC as a versatile athlete. (Inside Carolina)
