Much like his father, DB Noah Mangham (R. So.) expects to hit every time he comes to the plate. In the younger Mangham's case, a hit is an interception, pass break-up or a blocked field goal. Even though he comes from a baseball family, the Bears saw a home run on the football field when the previous staff recruited him over three years ago. Mangham appreciates them and has bought into the new system led by Head Coach Ed Lamb. In 2024, you can't have enough quality defensive backs who are versatile. Mangham is one of at least seven players who continues to shine in the off-season for CB Coach DJ Williams.
UPDATE: Winter conditioning and spring football can sometimes be a grind so Carson Keach had a little fun last week following an interception. The sophomore from Ponderosa HS in Parker, CO executed his best cartwheel downfield after picking off a pass. Two more weeks of spring football remain for the UNC Bears.

UPDATE: Redshirt Jr. Rocco Traore enters his fourth season with the UNC Bears football program. However, this is his first month playing running back at the college level. He was a great running back in high school in the Seattle area but was more valuable as a defensive back in Greeley the past three years. He's seen a lot during his time with the Bears including teammates leaving like Carver Cheeks and Noah Mangham did last week. Rocco takes it all in stride.

Good Morning: Happy Easter! One of the spiritual leaders on the UNC Bears team is R-Jr. LB Jordan Davis (32) who always has a smile on his face and puts team first. He was a star at Cherokee Trail HS in Aurora and his dad played running back at Kansas with the Jayhawks in the late 90s. Davis is one of those guys you have to have in order to enjoy success in college football.
