A devoted Tar Heel family has endowed a scholarship for the Carolina Basketball center position in honor of former All-America and national champion Eric Montross, UNC Athletics and The Rams Club announced today.
The gift will fund The Eric Montross Center Endowment, which recognizes the long history and tradition of excellence and achievement at the position and will provide a scholarship to a Tar Heel center each school year.
This is the third men's basketball position to be endowed. In 2019, Tommy Kearns, the point guard on the 1957 NCAA champions, provided the funds to endow his former position.
