UNC Football Position Preview: Linebackers

Posted Aug 18, 2020
North Carolina returns almost all of their linebacker production from last season. Swiss Army knife Dominique Ross graduated, but first-team All-ACC selection Chazz Surratt returns, along with junior Jeremiah Gemmel and senior Tomon Fox. That triumvirate combined for 240 tackles and 16.5 sacks last year, or 28% of UNC’s tackles and 53% of sacks. (Tar Heel Blog)
