From empty gyms at dawn to cracked driveways at dusk, Jackson Watkins always dreamed of playing basketball with North Carolina emblazoned across his chest. His imagination would run wild: every shot was taken in front of a roaring crowd, every free throw with the game on the line.

Once in Chapel Hill, he went from JV standout to varsity walk-on, a leap that opened the door to moments he never could have scripted. A run to the National Championship. A bucket in front of Michael Jordan. Poker games and cowboy hats. Retiring Coach K... twice. A triumphant start against villainous rival Duke. And an unexpected place in Tar Heel folklore: Biscuit Boy.

This is a story of belief, brotherhood, and the unlikely journey from the backyard to the biggest stage in college basketball.

It's about more than a game. It's about love.
