Young son makes UNC’s K.J. Sails grow up in a hurry

Posted Aug 15, 2018
After playing sparingly as a true freshman in 2016, North Carolina cornerback K.J. Sails had to grow up in a hurry. On the field, Sails was asked to step into the starting lineup at cornerback. He responded with a team-high 13 pass breakups, good for ninth in the ACC. Off the field, however, Sails had to grow up even faster. On Aug. 13 of last year, King Jeremiah Sails was born.
