Phil Petty from Boiling Springe^SC.
Petty who has not seen any playing J
time since coming to Carolina set many
^ain school records in high school and was
^at considered one of the hottest prospects
^ out of high school last year. This
year's prize recruit from West
Charlotte, NC, Keith Matkins could
, also figure into the mix. tl
Matkins is a mobile quarterback a
a(jy who is known for his ability to throw n
* the football from one endzone to the T
ar's other.
Coaches still hope that Wright will b
;en be healthy enough to return for his 7
