UNC Football: Defensive Practice Observations

Posted Apr 13, 2023
UNC’s main weakness last season was its secondary. There wasn’t another position group to underperform as much as the defensive backfield. During a recent practice we attended, there were a lot of new faces, but one familiar player who stood out was safety Ja'Qurious Conley. It's been noted before that he participated without a knee brace. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
