Posted Sep 7, 2017
UNC cornerback M.J. Stewart is a potential first-round NFL draft pick, so individually he sees Louisville QB Lamar Jackson coming to Kenan as more of a personal challenge. “Oh yeah, this is a big week,” he said, smiling. “Not saying every week is not a big week, but this is one you circle on the calendar. It’s a chance on the national stage for me to make some plays.” (Tar Heel Illustrated)
