Tar Heels’ lack of depth at linebacker is cause for concern as UNC prepares for Miami

Posted Oct 5, 2022
North Carolina has a linebacker problem. Starters Cedric Gray and Power Echols are two of the best players on the defense. Gray leads the team in total tackles at 55 and with two interceptions. Echols has the most solo tackles at 34. Having them on the field is a good thing, but the Tar Heels are almost at a point where they can’t give the duo a break. (MSN.com)
