With a chip on his shoulder, Kaimon Rucker ready to lead UNC defense

Posted Aug 27, 2024
On the second floor of UNC’s football facility, Kaimon Rucker’s life changed while eating a plate of barbecue. With his wife, Sally Brown, in tow, head coach Mack Brown approached the edge rusher and his family in the cafeteria in 2019. After traveling to Chapel Hill for the first time for a recruiting camp, Rucker received a scholarship offer to UNC on the spot. (Daily Tar Heel)
