UNC's Nose Tackle Depth to Be Tested Following Season-Ending Injury To Ray Vohasek

Posted Oct 19, 2022
With fifth-year nose tackle Raymond Vohasek out the rest of the season due to injury, UNC will turn to younger defenders to absorb the lost snaps. Junior Kevin Hester, who has split time at nose with Vohasek, is likely to be the starter, as he was the last two games in Vohasek's absence. Behind him is Travis Shaw, the 6-foot-6, 355-pound 5-star freshman. (Inside Carolina)
