UNC Linebackers Coach Tommy Thigpen on Amare Campbell, Caleb LaValle, Power Echols, and More

UNC sophomore linebacker Amare Campbell breaking his hand has created an interesting situation for linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen. As talented as Campbell is, he played just 128 snaps last season and doesn’t turn 19 until Aug. 29, the same day the Tar Heels open their season at Minnesota. The guys behind him have even less experience. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
