A Year Under His Belt, UNC Linebacker Cedric Gray Ready To Lead UNC's Defense
Posted Jul 13, 2022
Cedric Gray had three pass break-ups last season, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and a recovered fumble. And now, with Jeremiah Gemmel off to the NFL, Gray is not just the leader of UNC’s linebacker group, but of the Tar Heels' defense as a whole. "I always believed in myself. It was exciting seeing it come to light. You start to believe it a lot more."
