According to a Yahoo Sports report, North Carolina is investigating a possible hazing incident with the football team. The report states that earlier this month, walk-on receiver Jackson Boyer was allegedly involved in a hotel room altercation with multiple teammates that resulted in Boyer getting a concussion. The names of others involved were not included.
The Tar Heels open up their season on Saturday with a home game against Liberty. As of Tuesday evening, no players had been publically disciplined for the incident, but UNC assistant athletic director for communications Kevin Best said in a statement to Yahoo Sports, “We are aware of an incident involving members of the UNC football team that took place earlier this month. We take this allegation seriously and the University is conducting a thorough review.”
