Roy Smith Could Come Up Big

Posted Aug 8, 2012
It was always the plan for track standout Roy Smith to walk-on to the football team, and although it took a couple years it couldn’t be coming at a better time. Q: When you came to UNC on a track scholarship in ’10, was playing football always part of the plan? “It was in the plan but it took a little time for it to all work out. Butch (Davis) wanted me on the team but I was having trouble with track and my academics." (Carolina Blue)
