After breakout season, Cedric Gray ready to emerge as UNC's next great linebacker

Posted Aug 23, 2022
In his first season in Chapel Hill, Cedric Gray saw limited action as future third-round NFL draft pick Chazz Surratt headlined UNC’s linebacker group. Even after registering 100 tackles his sophomore year, Gray's efforts were overshadowed by the play of team captain Jeremiah Gemmel. Now Gray is ready to step into his role as a leader of the defense. (Daily Tar Heel)
