Greg LittleGreg Little graduated from Hillside High School in Durham, this past May and he wasted no time jumping into the national spotlight before he even started his college career as a wide receiver for UNC this fall.

Little was one of the college freshman on the second season of ESPNU’s reality show, “Summer House.” The college freshman stayed at the same house in New Jersey for eight days. Chris Spielman, All-Pro Linebacker and ESPN analyst served as a mentor for the guys and had a lesson for them every day. The other college freshman on the show included Richetti Jones (Oklahoma State), Danny Collins (Towson University), Brian Maddox (University of South Carolina), and Taylor Skaufel (Stanford). It sounded like a cool show but I didn’t get to watch it because I don’t get ESPNU.

Many Durham natives are familiar with Little as a quarterback, wide receiver, running back, linebacker, safety AND corner-back. He led Hillside with 55 catches for 969 yards and nine touchdowns as a receiver, 800 yards on 140 carries and 14 touchdowns as a running back and four interceptions on defense. SuperPrep ranked him as #2 in the North Carolina and #6 in the country last year. He was recruited as a wide receiver anda running back by UNC, Notre Dame, and Ohio State to name a few. So far he has one touchdown this year, but he will be a great asset to UNC considering his knowledge of the game and how versatile he is.

Here’s a look at Greg from Durham Hillside last year:
