UNC experiences player turnover

Posted Aug 24, 2009
Senior left tackle Kyle Jolly is in the minority. Of the 79 scholarship players on the Tar Heels' roster, 11 are seniors. There are 27 freshmen, including redshirts, 22 juniors and 19 sophomores. Jolly, who was recruited by former coach John Bunting, said he expected some roster attrition when Butch Davis replaced Bunting after the 2006 season. Since then, 26 players who had at least one season of eligibility remaining are no longer on the team. (Raleigh News & Observer)
