UNC Football Position Preview 2019: Linebackers
Posted Aug 16, 2019
The biggest change to the Tar Heels' linebacker corps will not be the fresh faces, but rather the new defensive scheme. This should be the position group in which there should be cautious optimism. Only 75 total tackles were made in 2018 by the three returning linebackers of Dominique Ross (47), Jonathan Smith (27), and Jeremiah Gemmel (1).
