Holley, defense continue to shine for North Carolina

Posted Nov 7, 2005

Jesse Holley made his coach look like a genius. For the first time in John Bunting's tenure at North Carolina, he gave someone other than a senior the honor of being a captain, and that player was Holley. "He is a guy that is going to be a leader on this football team," Bunting said. In so many ways, Holley already fills that role. His confidence never has been questioned, and the junior wide receiver gives the Tar Heels a certain swagger that can't really be missed. (Lexington Dispatch)
