The two were inseparable growing up, winning 13 youth national championships with the Miami Gardens Ravens before sticking together at powerhouse Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna Prep in high school. Now, following two years apart in the college ranks, the duo is back together in Raleigh after the signal-caller used his recruiting hat in the transfer portal. And, so far, Trader has turned heads with his new program, even making Bailey a bigger believer in what he can do on the field after his first six months on campus.
