UNC Football's Top Breakout Candidates for the 2020 Season

Posted Apr 16, 2020
UNC defensive lineman Tomari Fox finished 2019 with 27 total tackles, three quarterback hurries, 2.5 tackles, and one sack. All those numbers should jump in 2020, as Fox should play a prominent role on the defensive line. If there is one receiver who can work his way up to be a contributor behind Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome, it’s Emery Simmons. (Inside Carolina)
