Ade Willie's Versatility a Big Plus for North Carolina's Secondary

Posted Aug 12, 2026
Experience and versatility are intangibles that Ade Willie brought to North Carolina after spending four seasons at Michigan State. They are his greatest assets and are why he likely will see the field a lot this season for the Tar Heels. "He's another defensive back that's big, fast, a good tackler, and is a physical player," coach Bill Belichick said last week. (TarHeel247)
