Tar Heel DT Crawford to have season-ending surgery
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – North Carolina freshman defensive tackle Aaron Crawford will have season-ending surgery on Thursday to repair a left foot fracture he suffered last week in practice. Surgery will be performed by Dr. Alex Creighton at UNC Hospitals. Crawford played in two games and had six tackles. Carolina will apply for a medical redshirt on his behalf.
In addition, redshirt freshman tight end Caleb Samuel’s career has ended because of ongoing concerns related to a heart condition. Samuel played in all five games and scored on a two-point conversion against N.C. A&T.
