Breakout Returning Starters For UNC Football This Season?

Posted Jul 31, 2020
UNC Football returns plenty of starters from last year. So, among the returning starters, who is primed to break out on a big-time level? Jeremiah Gemmel and Chazz Surratt give the Tar Heels a great linebacking duo. Gemmel had a good season for the Tar Heels last year. If he can improve his angles, reads, and tackling, he will be a candidate for All-ACC. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
