Young UNC Football Defenders Offered Glimpse Into The Future

Posted Jan 3, 2021
For stretches of North Carolina’s loss to Texas A&M on Saturday, the Tar Heels’ defense was fast, punishing and all over the place. Really, they were that way for most of the first three quarters. Young players mixing in with seasoned veterans such as Tomon Fox and Tyrone Hopper, the Heels flew to the ball. Still, the Tar Heels lost, 41-27, to the Aggies. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
