This summer, Tar Heel Blog will profile the top 25 players in the history of the North Carolina football program. The rankings were determined by votes from readers and staff.

Jeff Saturday came to UNC in 1994 pegged as an offensive lineman too small to play against the massive defensive lines of the SEC. Saturday proved that assessment was wrong as a four-year letterman on the offensive line, starting his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons.

He served as a team captain in his junior and senior seasons. Saturday was named to the First Team All-ACC as a center in 1996 and 1997.
