UNC finds a quarterback -- at least in secondary

Posted Aug 18, 2006

Kareen Taylor has worked at a car dealership and at a YMCA in recent summers. Not this year. His full focus was on math classes and football. That's probably for the best, because in the calculus of preseason football camp at North Carolina, the senior safety has taken on added importance to the secondary. When Trimane Goddard suffered a season-ending foot injury last week, Taylor became the only available player to have started a college game at safety. (Greensboro News & Record)
