Rush, Jack or Hybrid, the Rucker Position Intrigues Mack Brown and Geoff Collins


First it was Hybrid. Then it was Jack. Now it’s Rush. Rush? That’s the name of the pseudo outside linebacker/defensive end position on North Carolina’s defense. The spot has now had three names in Part II, the latest coming from first-year defensive coordinator Geoff Collins. It’s a hybrid of this, a hybrid of that. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
