Penn State Transfer Smith Vilbert Will Add Flexibility to Bill Belichick's Inaugural Defense at UNC
Posted Mar 21, 2025
UNC added a big body to its 2025 defensive line with the commitment of Penn State transfer Smith Vilbert on Wednesday. The 6-foot-6, 285-pounder rated as the No. 142 overall prospect and No. 17 edge in the transfer portal this offseason. He's the fourth defensive lineman to land in Chapel Hill out of the transfer portal this offseason and is poised to be a key player.
