Track & Field

“UNC checked all the boxes and it was the best fit for me and my family.”

“All-State selection, the region’s defensive player of the year (with) 130 tackles, 15.5 sacks, 30 tackles for loss over his last two seasons. He’s got tremendous quickness, another really good pass rusher.”

Kaimon is a very smart student-athlete and he will be a key player in the future of Tar Heel Football. Under Coach Cross, I see him developing into a really nice defensive lineman.”
