Ranking North Carolina’s top football recruits for 2021: Nos. 1-10

Posted Aug 30, 2020
No. 1: UNC defensive end commit Keeshawn Silver is an athlete in the mold of Julius Peppers. He’s a long, lean athlete who is physically strong enough to make plays at the point of attack, but is also fast enough to chase down runners in pursuit. His length allows him to disrupt passing lanes and he usually greets ball carriers with a bit of a nasty attitude. (Shelby Star)
