There’s just something about the University of North Carolina that keeps their players returning. Whether it’s the comfort of home, stability or the familiar faces, its undeniable that the word “family” holds some serious weight around the basketball program. But how deep does that word really go? Is it something that’s simply portrayed for the media? According to Jawad Williams, it’s the real deal.
14 years removed from UNC-CH, Jawad Williams is still a familiar face around the Dean Dome. He practices there faithfully when he returns home from his overseas adventures of playing professional basketball. During his summers spent around the campus, Williams makes sure to provide mentorship, challenges incoming players and welcomes them into the Carolina bond.
