North Carolina wide receiver Erik Highsmith led the 'Heels with seven catches for 82 yards in Saturday's spring game.

It's easy to get wrapped up in spring statistics, but Highsmith is a clear exception. He's the only proven receiver the 'Heels have, and is in an offense transitioning to a spread formation. He's a safe bet to lead UNC in receiving, and a sneaky pick to be among the ACC leaders come December.
