  The waiting, North Carolina receiver Justin Olson admitted, was the hardest part. Two years into his collegiate career and he's collected exactly zero passes. Not even in the spring game. He's rarely even got the opportunity to line up at receiver. That'll all change this season. Olson's turn has arrived. He may be the best receiver no one outside of Chapel Hill has paid attention to - but to be fair, there was really no reason to do so. "I've challenged Justin to try to carve out a role for himself," UNC receivers coach Lonnie Galloway said. "As a group, your peers know who should be out there playing, and they (receivers) all have confidence in him and Sam (Howell) and the quarterbacks have confidence in him."

Olson has established himself as a potential starter for in the wake of Dyami Brown and Daz Newsome going to the NFL. Olson has practiced at both a slot receiver and on the outside. His speed will place him among Carolina's new deep threats with Antoine Green and Khafre Brown. "There was a lot of times where it was hard, you know," Olson said. "Not even traveling my freshman year, watching from my house. I mean, that hurt. I want to be with the team. But you look at the roster and you're like, 'OK, well, Dyami's a great player." - Raleigh News Observer
