T.J. Yates a natural at quarterback

Posted Aug 5, 2007

Redshirt freshman T.J. Yates doesn't allow himself to think about what it would mean to become North Carolina's starting quarterback. He prefers, three days into fall practice, to concentrate solely on the three-man race behind center. Especially because three years ago, just taking a college snap seemed so far out of reach. "I thought I'd be playing basketball right now,'' the 6-foot-3 former shooting guard said. "I'm glad I'm not." (Raleigh News & Observer)
