Spring Wrap-up: Defense

Posted Apr 16, 2010
One of the primary goals for the defense this spring was to give some of the guys on the two- and three-deep some repetitions.

During the spring game he looked instinctive defending both the pass and the run. He also flashed his tackling ability. (Inside Carolina)
