Tylee Craft, a former UNC wide receiver and student assistant coach, died Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024, after his battle with cancer. He was 23.⁠ ⁠ “This young man fought so hard for his two and a half years,” head coach Mack Brown said. “The doctors told us he outlived what he should have. And he did it with a spirit. He did it with a smile on his face. He didn't miss a meeting. He didn't miss practice. He coached these other young people. He's just an incredible young person.”⁠ ⁠ The Tar Heels honored Craft during Saturday's game, welcoming his family onto the field and dedicating the afternoon to him and cancer awareness. ⁠ ⁠ After the first quarter, the video board projected a montage. Craft holding the North Carolina flag in the tunnel before running onto the field for kickoff. Sharing handshakes with his teammates during warmups. Leading a huddle at practice.
