T.J. Logan needs more exposure on offense and special teams!

Last week, UNC’s T.J. Logan almost willed North Carolina to victory by himself. Logan rushed six times for 80 yards and one touchdown on offense. In addition, Logan had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. In fact, Logan’s two touchdowns put North Carolina ahead 24-14 against Georgia in the third quarter.

Although UNC teammate Elijah Hood may be the workhorse and best player on the team, Logan may be the most versatile player on North Carolina’s roster.

Logan can return kickoffs, punts, play running back and wide receiver.

Logan’s speed speaks for itself.

He took control of the game last week against Georgia. UNC head coach Larry Fedora may want to use a dual running back set to give Logan more reps on offense. Neither Hood or Logan should be a lot of time on the bench, in particular, Logan.

Last week was no fluke. Hood may be ahead on the depth chart at running back, but it does not mean that Logan is not just as good.
