Who was behind Chazz Surratt’s decision to move from quarterback to linebacker at UNC?

Posted May 15, 2019
The decision for Chazz Surratt to change football positions from quarterback to linebacker at the University of North Carolina actually started last fall, according to new Tar Heels coach Mack Brown. “When Chazz got hurt last year, he and (former) coach (Larry) Fedora sat down and they actually moved him to safety on defense before I got here."
