The University of North Carolina announced Saturday that wide receiver Tylee Craft, 23, died after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
"Tylee meant so much to so many and affected us in ways we'll always be thankful for. He was 1-of-1 and, while he won't be with us in body, he'll be watching over us with his endearing smile and endless positivity," the school said in its statement.
The Tar Heels honored Craft, who was diagnosed in 2022, before Saturday's contest, which was singled out as the Cancer Awareness Game.
