Motivated by brother’s optimism, UNC's Kanler Coker calls switch to basketball a 'no-brainer'
Posted Dec 18, 2015
When Kanler Coker signed to play football for the University of North Carolina, he was fulfilling his dream of playing Division-I athletics. This fall, he’s pursuing a different dream. Each time he suits up for the Tar Heels’ basketball team this fall, the senior will be honoring the vision of his beloved younger brother, Keaton, who lost his battle with brain cancer in July of 2014.
