Defensive Line Commits To Get Fit

Posted Aug 24, 2009
Sleeker. Trimmer. Faster. Everything you loved about last year's model, upgraded in a brand new package. No, not the new Motorola, Mercedes or MacBook; it's the Tar Heel defensive line. Everyone returns from the 2008 edition to a defensive line that has added freshmen Jared McAdoo and Donte Paige-Moss. That's ten veterans (four of them starters) two SuperPrep All-Americas, and transfer Jordan Nix along the front line of Carolina's defense. (Tar Heel Blue)
