Linebacker Power Echols Ramping Up Vocal Leadership For Tar Heels Defense

Posted Apr 13, 2024

Echols enters his fourth year with the program with 40 games of college football experience. With Cedric Gray, who served as the defense's loudest voice, now gone, Echols has quickly assumed that role. (Inside Carolina)
