UNC football's tight end Brandon Fritts seizes his opportunity

Entering the 2015 season, North Carolina tight end Brandon Fritts had a New Year’s resolution — to make a name for himself in college.

And after grabbing two touchdown catches in less than six minutes against North Carolina A&T on Saturday, he is closer to reaching his goal.

“It’s a start,” Fritts said. “Just getting more reps this game. I’m trying to help the team any way I can, whether it’s catching balls or blocking.”

Fritts said he did not expect his number to be called often versus the Aggies. Both of his touchdown catches were in goal-line situations, fewer than five yards from the end zone.
