Checking In With Junior Gnonkonde

Posted Oct 8, 2014
Junior Gnonkonde isn’t your typical college football player. He’s billed from Lakeland, Ga., but that’s only part of the story. Gnonkonde came to the United States from Côte d’Ivoire in 2008, but he also displayed the athleticism to succeed in track and field and basketball. He was part of Larry Fedora’s first recruiting class at UNC and is now used at bandit on base and money packages. (GoHeels.com)
