No. 2: Expect to see this redshirt freshman more

Over the last two weeks, we’ve seen more of redshirt freshman Tychaun Chapman.

In fact, Chapman scored his first collegiate touchdown against Georgia Tech, as his playmaking ability on both special teams and at wide receiver has started to be displayed.

With Tez Walker’s injury status uncertain, along with Nate McCollum being banged up, expect to see much more of Chapman this week.

Even if the Tar Heels’ top two receivers do play, it’s possible that the game plan still features more of Chapman. This could be a week where Chapman sees more than just one to two targets on offense, as he would be a solid candidate to bet on to find the endzone at some point during this weekend’s contest.
