The people of Tar Heel Blog have spoken, and today we move to the next guy on the list of the top 25 UNC footballers of all time: No. 24, Ronald Curry.
Curry, from Hampton, Virginia, is perhaps best known for his exploits in high school. He was a top-10 overall recruit in both football and basketball, and was surrounded by more hype than 757 contemporaries Michael Vick and Allen Iverson. After a messy recruitment which saw him sign with Carolina following a Virginia decommit, ‘Benedict Curry,’ as UVA fans know him, won MVP in the McDonald’s All-American Game and enrolled at Carolina in 1998 with more hype than anyone before or since.
