Tim Cross Scouts UNC's Incoming Freshman Defensive Linemen

Posted Jun 5, 2020
"I know everybody is waiting for (the freshmen) to get here," UNC defensive line coach Tim Cross said. "From Desmond to Bingley-Jones, Myles Murphy, Clyde Pinder, A.J. Beatty, all those guys have to come in with the mindset that, especially because there was no spring ball, that everybody’s coming in at a fairly even playing field, so may the best man win."
