Posted Apr 27, 2019
Cole Holcomb became the first Tar Heel drafted on Saturday when he was selected by Washington in the 5th round with the 173rd pick. It wasn't a huge class for linebackers, but Holcomb had impressed with his exceptional athleticism. Holcomb came to North Carolina as a walk-on after receiving almost no interest from FBS schools out of high school. (Tar Heel Blog)
