Jalen Dalton leads UNC Football with calm and quiet approach
Posted Sep 1, 2017
If Jalen Dalton could blend in with a crowd, he would. He’s the quiet and thoughtful type, never one to seek attention. According to his teammates, he is a steadfast leader, a virtue much more easily disguised than his 6-foot-6, 295-pound frame. His imposing presence can make it hard to be subtle, but along he goes, quietly. He’d prefer to just be on his way.
