UNC among schools building the best linebacker classes in 2021
Posted May 23, 2020
The Tar Heels are in the top five because they have commitments from the two top linebackers in North Carolina. Charlotte Vance’s Power Echols committed in January to give the Tar Heels a future leader on the defense. He is the No. 9 inside linebacker in the class. Echols is joined by Kernersville (N.C.) Glenn’s RaRa Dillworth, who is the No. 12 outside linebacker.
