Tar Heels Not Shying Away From Praising Loaded Defensive Front

Posted Aug 14, 2022
The number one narrative coming from UNC Football’s preseason camp over the last few weeks is its gifted defensive front. And they most certainly are. Among the ten players that could be in the rotation this season, one was a 5-star in high school, and six were 4-star recruits. In addition, seven of the players were rated at No. 140 or better in their class. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
