Posted Aug 18, 2022
UNC's linebacker group is small, but talented. The top two main starters are clear. Junior Cedric Gray returns after a breakout sophomore season, while sophomore Power Echols steps in for the departed mainstay Jeremiah Gemmel. Gray and Echols will be counted on for team leadership and communication in the middle of a new defense under Gene Chizik. (Inside Carolina)
