Lucas: Styles Living His Dream

By Adam Lucas

Dontrez Styles tried to play it cool when Roy Williams offered him a University of North Carolina basketball scholarship in mid-March of 2020. The Kinston, N.C., product didn't commit right away. He thanked the Hall of Fame head coach for the offer. He hung up the phone. And then…

"I started yelling, I was so excited," Styles says. "I called my trainer, Curtis Hines, because he's been with me every step of the way. I called my high school coach, Perry Tyndall, and we celebrated."

So, did you commit to the Tar Heels right away?
