CHAPEL HILL, N.C.(AP) North Carolina receiver Brandon Tate had surgery on his right knee and is expected to make a full recovery.

School officials said Wednesday that Dr. Tim Taft repaired the torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee.

Tate, a senior, suffered a season-ending injury last week while returning a punt in the first quarter against Notre Dame.

He finished his career with an NCAA-record 3,523 career combined kick-return yards.
