FdaSbaHi88Fiicja September 9 198819 from page 18 Receivers the short pass into the long touch down," he said. "That in itself is a great tribute to Reggie. He has almost unlimited potential." Cavanaugh echoed Marriott's sentiments. "Reggie is a very mobile and agile athlete," he said. "He has done a good job and has handled the transition well. Naturally, he has running instincts he learned as a tailback, so after he catches the ball he can do a good jod of advancing it." Fellow sophomore Freddy Renken will also be seeing a great deal of playing time for North Carolina this year. Renken is a solid performer who also has the best hands of any of the wide receivers. "I just go out and give 100 percent every play," Renken said. I just try to stick in there and give it my best shot." Renken impressed the entire coaching staff with his ability at making the clutch catches. He also has great knowledge of defensive coverages. Cavanaugh feels that Renken has the knack for being in the right place at the right time. "Freddy's biggest strength is that I i , Randy. Marriott as he can catch the ball as well anyone," Cavanaugh said. "He has very good hands. Inevitably, in every scrimmage we play he makes the big catch. Freddy also possesses good speed and a good concentration level." . The last member of the receiving squad this year is senior tight end John Keller. Keller is one of the most intelligent players on the team. He will be counted on heavily in the Tar Heels' passing offense this year. Keller is also a surperb blocker, who takes pride in opening up holes for the running backs to scamper through. However, Keller also has good hands. He is a competitor, and the ultimate team player and leader. Brown has been impressed with Keller since he first met him. "John Keller is the type of guy who will help our team with his mere presence on the field," Brown said. "He's a veteran and a young man with good lead ership qualities." Keller makes very few mental mistakes, and feels that his job is to make a first down every time he catches a pass. "When they throw me the ball, my job is to catch it," he said. "A big priority for me is to get the first down every time I catch the ball. Ill do whatever it takes to sustain a drive." Keller might not be the best blocker on the team, he might not have the best hands on the team, and he might not be the quickest player on the team, but he does one thing better than anything he gets the job' done right everytime. . All in all, this will be an interesting year for Tar Heel wide receivers.
