My Carolina Experience: Jarrod James Posted May 16, 2014 Jarrod James came to UNC in 2011 as one of the top ranked offensive linemen in the state of North Carolina. Though his player biography is relatively short it starts out like most Carolina Athletes with very impressive statistics. James earned all of these honors in high school despite the fact that he has brachial plexus palsy, an injury that prevents him from fully extending his right arm. (GoHeels.com)
