UNC's Ja'Qurious Conley Named To 247Sports True Freshman Preseason All-American Team for 2020

Posted Sep 1, 2020
North Carolina true freshman defender Ja'Qurious Conley is a big nickel back that could essentially operate as a nickel linebacker for the Tar Heels. Conley’s blend of athleticism and size at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds make him the perfect hybrid defender for UNC defensive coordinator Jay Bateman to insert as needed against less spread-heavy offenses.
