Tyler Powell is Mr. Flexibility

Posted Sep 8, 2018
Tyler Powell registered just two tackles in North Carolina’s loss at California last Saturday, but that doesn’t reflect the impact he had for the Tar Heels, nor does it portend to his importance to the defense. Powell has become the quintessential utility guy for the Tar Heels up front. He can line up in any of the four spots along the defensive line, and in Berkeley actually did just that.
