Nearly two years after former North Carolina football player Jackson Boyer suffered an alleged concussion during an off-campus hazing incident that involved at least four of his teammates, the university has reached a $795,000 settlement with Boyer and his family.

According to the settlement, a copy of which The News & Observer obtained on Tuesday, the $795,000 that Boyer will receive from UNC “covers all of Jackson Boyer’s actual or potential personal injury claims, including but not limited to, any claim for damages, attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.”

Boyer was a non-scholarship wide receiver at UNC when on Aug.
