UNC has a freshman walkon, Will Johnson, if we remember his name correctly,
who comes from what is, by all accounts, a tremendous family. His brother joined
the Navy ROTC in Chapel Hill and was shipped out upon graduation. From
there his story takes a
tragic, but ultimately triumphant turn. We heard this story this
summer, and we have nothing but the most profound admiration for Daniel
Johnson. Will is of the same stock, of course, so UNC has likely gotten
themselves somebody special. His brother is a hero, and what's most heroic
isn't what he did but what he thinks now. You can't teach this kind of
stuff.
