UNC moves wide receiver to bolster thinning pass defense

Posted Aug 19, 2011
Can a wide receiver become a cornerback in two weeks? North Carolina is trying to find out. The Tar Heels may be without their two top cornerbacks when they host James Madison in the season opener on Sept. 3. As a result, junior wide receiver Todd Harrelson switched from No. 82 to No. 13 at practice Thursday and started taking reps with the defense. (Durham Herald-Sun)
