Former North Carolina Tar Heels’ standout Armando Bacot is enjoying life after his college basketball career. Bacot is getting involved in some more NIL opportunities and has even been around the program to run some scrimmages.
But on Friday, Bacot was taking in the opening weekend of college football in the Midwest. No, Bacot was not in Minnesota for the UNC game but instead, he was in Michigan to support his friend and former UNC defensive back Lejond Cavazos. Bacot was spotted on Michigan State’s campus and then on the sideline before the game in a Cavazos jersey. Check out the picture of Bacot below:

Bacot and Cavazos have been friends since their time together at IMG Academy. Bacot was even helpful in recruiting Cavazos to North Carolina after he transferred out of Ohio State.
While it was an ugly game, Bacot got to see Michigan State and Cavazos get a win at home to open the season. Spartans fans probably aren’t too excited about seeing Bacot there, seeing that he and the Tar Heels ended Michigan State’s season in the NCAA Tournament last season.
Where will we see Bacot next? Stay tuned.
